Almost all funding on First Nations’ reserves requires a proposal. These proposals are competitive and so First Nations have to have skilled writers to succeed at proposal writing to get basic infrastructure for their communities. Proposal writing is an important skill to learn. The learning was enriched by having to developed and defend this proposal and receiving meaningful feedback from funders.
