In September 2022, DWF and HBF launched Oshki Wupoowane | The Blanket Fund. Moving forward, 100 percent of the net proceeds from the sale of all HBC Point Blankets will go to Indigenous Peoples.
The Blanket Fund will provide support for Indigenous cultural, artistic, and educational activities. Offered through two grant streams (Reconciliation Action Grants and Capacity Building Grants), The Blanket Fund can be accessed by both grassroots Indigenous communities and organizations, and by Indigenous individuals undertaking related initiatives.
