AIP Laureate Quote: “Most other funding applications have very strict criteria. In comparison, the AIP is focused on ideas that can help the community. It is a resource that can help you realize your dream of making your community better, by bringing your ideas to life. It provides the opportunity to make the North stronger and better. You are only limited by how you limit yourself.” Glen Brocklebank, The Qajaq Program – 2017 Laureate and Trustee
AIP Impact: Over the course of the past 10 years, the AIP has awarded over $16.4 million to 41 northern teams, helping their dreams and those of their communities come true.
