Supporting First Nations in developing strong finance and administrative governance practices
About us
The 𝐅𝐌𝐁 provides First Nations with the tools required to govern their communities and manage finances. It supports First Nations in development of sound finance and administrative governance practices. The 𝐅𝐌𝐁 is a non-profit, non-governmental organization. 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: In the Spring of 2005, the Government of Canada enacted the 𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑁𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝐹𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑀𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐴𝑐𝑡 (𝑭𝑴𝑨) which gave First Nations the option to participate under the 𝙁𝙈𝘼. To enable First Nations to participate, the 𝙁𝙈𝘼 established three Indigenous Institutions: 1. First Nations Finance Authority (𝐅𝐍𝐅𝐀) 2. First Nations Tax Commission (𝐅𝐍𝐓𝐂) 3. First Nations Financial Management Board (𝐅𝐌𝐁) The purpose of these institutions was to create a mechanism to provide support and tools to First Nations to strengthen their communities and build foundations for economic development.

Today’s First Nations Leading the Way sessions include an insightful talk on Proceeds of Trusts. Councillor William Kaysaywaysemat of Kahkewistahaw First Nation in Sask. shared that his Nation has prioritized programs for youth and Elders for these funds, and spoke about the impacts and challenges of these efforts. “You offer assistance, but there’s always that need for more…With demands for funding you need to set rules and priorities to make it fair for everyone.” #FNLTW

The sharing of First Nations' success stories from working with the FMA institutions and the Lands Advisory Board is a highlight of First Nations Leading the Way. This morning, Chief Derek Epp of Ch’íyáqtel First Nation in B.C. shared the story of his Nation "flipping the script" over the past two decades, going from a funding model that was 90% federal transfers and 10% own-source revenues, to now operating with 90% own-source revenues and 10% of funding from federal transfers. #EconomicReconciliation #FNLTW
