This article is the fifth in a series on Indigenous Communities and Philanthropy.

SUMMARY: Charity lawyer Richard Bridge shares the example of Ulnooweg, a dynamic and innovative First Nations non-profit that has provided financial services to Atlantic Canadian First Nations for decades. Its development of the charity Ulnooweg Financial Education Centre and success in attracting foundation funding to go national has helped Chiefs and Councils plan and meet community needs more effectively. It also shows the enormous benefits of First Nations securing qualified donee status.

PRECIS : Richard Bridge, avocat d’organismes de bienfaisance, cite en exemple Ulnooweg, un OSBL autochtone dynamique et novateur qui, depuis des décennies, fournit des services financiers aux Premières Nations du Canada Atlantique. Cet OSBL a fondé le Ulnooweg Financial Education Centre, un organisme de bienfaisance, et s’emploie à obtenir du financement auprès de fondations à l’échelle nationale; grâce à ses efforts, des chefs et des conseils ont pu faire une meilleure planification et mieux répondre aux besoins de leur communauté. On constate aussi les énormes avantages que retirent les Premières Nations à obtenir le statut de donataire reconnu.
