Annauma Community Foundation exists to deliver funding and support programming that strengthens communities and upholds Inuit values, skills, and worldview in a manner that encourages lifelong learning and nurtures collaborative relationships.  

To do this, we have focused our priorities on five areas:

1. Inuit Children and Youth 
2. Community Health and Wellbeing 
3. Education and Learning 
4. Arts and Culture  
5. Community-identified Opportunities

These aren’t separate issues, they’re woven together, shaping the well-being of Nunavummiut. A healthy child thrives when they have access to education. A strong community uplifts its artists and storytellers. And when local voices guide solutions, the entire territory moves forward together. Through consensus based granting, Annauma practices Inuit Philanthropy, sharing collective wealth and ensuring that funding reaches the charitable and nonprofit organizations that best understand the needs of their communities.

This approach embraces collaboration, trust, and shared wisdom. Every dollar donated to our granting funds goes directly to supporting the organizations that are strengthening Nunavut from within. Your contribution helps us sustain these essential connections. When we support one part of our community, we strengthen all of it. Together, we are building a future where Inuit communities are healthy and confident, and have what they need to thrive.
