Daaga’ Awards
The deadline for proposals for the current cycle of
the Daaga’ Awards has now passed. Watch for upcoming
information on this year’s award recipients.
Since 1990 Doyon, Limited has awarded nearly $100,000
in Daaga’ funding to Interior Native individuals and
organizations to promote drug and alcohol-free communities.
Daaga’ proposals should encompass the following tenets:
- The source of healing lies in the ability of local
people to help themselves.
- The strength of our traditional values to focus
on a healthy vision for the future and for our communities
should be utilized.
- It takes teamwork to promote programs that integrate
the spiritual, social and economic needs of our people.
The deadline to submit a proposal for Daaga’ funding
was Monday, April 26, 2010 at 5 p.m. Interior Native
communities and individual shareholders are eligible
to apply.
Awards are limited, and may be granted up to $1,500
per funding period. Depending on the number of proposals
received and the need, the selected proposals may
not always be funded for the full amount requested.
For this reason, Daaga’ should be considered a supplement
to the funding for a project. Daaga’ was created to
be a start up resource; therefore priority will be
given to new proposals.
Applications were mailed to all village council offices
and were available on the Doyon, Limited website at
www.doyon.com.
