The Community Support Services Program funds support services to First Nation and Inuit community economic development organizations to implement national and regional plans. These support services are intended to increase the organizational and operational capacity of Community Economic Development Organizations (CEDO) to carry out activities related to the delivery of community economic development programs and services.
As with the Community Economic Development Program, the Community Support Services Program provides core funding to CEDOs to assist them in carrying out economic development activities.
Who can apply?
First Nation Councils, governments of self-governing First Nation and Inuit communities, representative organizations of Inuit communities and other organizations mandated by the foregoing to carry out activities and projects on their behalf may apply. Normally recipients are also recipients under the Community Economic Development Program.
What activities qualify?
Funding is available for activities such as:
- Development and administration of professional and other standards for individuals engaged in First Nation or Inuit economic development at the community level
- Development and delivery of training courses and materials
- Development and dissemination of model agreements, terms of reference, forms, templates, etc.
- Conference and workshops

What information is required?
Community Support Services Program allocations are determined by CanNor upon the advice and recommendation of Regional Program Management Advisory Committees.
CEDOs, as part of their annual operational plan development process are required to identify initiatives designed to increase the organizational capacity that would be implemented using Community Support Services Program funding.
How is the program delivered?
Once a proposal is submitted, it is first reviewed by a CanNor regional office. If approved, funding is provided through one of CanNor's regional offices. In allocating funds to recipients, CanNor considers the advice and recommendation of Regional Program Management Advisory Committees.
