In November of 2022, we introduced you to our important partnership with Indspire, an Indigenous national charity that invests in the education of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people for the long-term benefit of these individuals, their families and communities, and Canada.

As a top-rated charity recognized by both Charity Intelligence Canada and Maclean's, the work Indspire does in partnership with Indigenous, private, and public sector stakeholders, allows them to educate, connect, and invest in Indigenous people so they will achieve their highest potential.

With the help of partnerships like Lockheed Martin, Indspire has reached the following milestones through its Building Brighter Futures (BBF) program. This program provides grants, scholarships, and apprenticeships across various fields to help Indigenous students succeed in their studies and complete post-secondary education or skilled trades programs.
