In 2006, NRT was created by the BC Government and First Nations leadership and launched as a $100 million fund. NRT is mandated to support BC First Nation communities to build capacity in order to become healthy, prosperous and self-sufficient. To date, 98% of the 203 First Nations in BC have accessed NRT funding.
The NRT Foundation was created in 2011 as a separate stand-alone charitable organization to seek additional funding for Scholarship and Bursary awards that are vital to Indigenous students in BC.
