The Indigenous Reconciliation Fund has raised $11.5 million so far, nearly 40 per cent of its goal.
The discovery of possible unmarked graves at the sites of former residential schools in recent years, as well as Pope Francis’s apology to Indigenous People, shone a fresh spotlight on the failures of the Catholic fundraising efforts related to the settlement.
Many Catholics and church leaders across Canada voiced a new commitment to reconciliation and repairing the relationship with Indigenous Peoples. It prompted the Canadian bishops to establish the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund and appoint Indigenous board members to oversee the $30-million target, which it has pledged to reach by January 2027.
Some jurisdictions “have made a decision that they have certain assets — maybe not land or buildings — but funding that they themselves have recognized can be directed to this fund for healing and reconciliation,” said Bishop William McGrattan, president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
