Our Partners

By working in partnership with organizations that share our values, NRT can achieve our goals in a way that is more cost-effective and – ultimately – provides the most benefit to First Nations and their communities.

Benefits of partnering include:

• NRT funding goes directly into programs and communities, because we can piggy back on existing initiatives and opportunities

• We eliminate redundant administrations and infrastructures, which in turn means that more money goes directly to programming

• We can leverage more funding from outside organizations who will see the strength of the collective team of partners
  

• We build relationships of cooperation and collaboration amongst First Nation organizations with shared values, visions and goals
  

In 2007/08, NRT entered into Protocol Agreements with three organizations:

First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC)
FNESC is committed to improving education for all First Nation learners in British Columbia. This year, by partnering with FNESC, NRT was able to support two Education initiatives.

National Centre for First Nations Governance (NCFNG)
NCFNG supports First Nations by providing information and development of governance services, products and events. In 2007/08, NRT supported the NCFNG’s Governance Capacity Assessments, Youth Leadership Program, and First Nation Administrators curricula in 2007/08.

First Peoples Heritage, Language and Culture Council (FPHLCC)
FPHLCC assists B.C. First Nations in their efforts to revitalize their languages, arts and cultures. This year, we supported six programs administered by FPHLCC.
