Our Priorities

Rivers, lakes, and wetlands form freshwater networks that sustain people, ecosystems, cultures, and economies.

We’re interested in projects that apply Indigenous laws and knowledge in watershed governance, support collaborative management and decision-making, engage diverse communities in freshwater stewardship, and build climate resilience.

The built environment includes all the “physical stuff” a community is made of — including homes and buildings, energy systems, transit, parks, roads, and trails — and the planning that ties everything together.

We’re interested in projects that embed Indigenous rights and values in community planning, address housing inequity, build a case for zero-carbon and climate-resilient solutions, and support collaboration between First Nations and local governments.

To achieve food sovereignty, communities historically denied control over local food systems must be able to steward food lands and access traditional foods sustainably.

We’re interested in projects that center Indigenous knowledge and governance, revitalize culturally important food lands and practices, and build partnerships between First Nations and diverse communities.

Real estate professionals play an important role as advisors, collaborators, and community champions.

We’re interested in projects that help real estate professionals grow their knowledge of Indigenous rights, climate solutions, and systemic racism in land use; promote justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility; build partnerships with First Nations and racialized communities; and contribute to reconciliation, climate action, and the public interest.
