Men of the North secures $820K grant
A $820,000 three-year grant from Northpine Foundation is expected to make a significant impact for Men of the North, a mental health support group, and the communities it serves.
“Our program will be able to recruit experienced and dedicated staff, secure suitable office space, develop comprehensive initiatives that address the root causes of incarceration, and leverage additional funding to further enhance and expand our services,” said Christopher Merasty, Men of the North founder.
“This operational funding will enable us to offer employment opportunities, mental health support, education, training, and traditional land-based practices to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous men.”
The Northpine Foundation is a private family foundation which focuses on investing in underserved and underinvested communities across Canada.
