The SaskSmart Innovations Fund was established to provide financial assistance to Saskatchewan communities to create innovative and sustainable ways to address their literacy needs.

Saskatchewan communities are invited to submit proposals that address identified workplace and family literacy needs in Saskatchewan.   There is no set funding amount, but requests up to $70,000 will be considered.  Funding is for one year only and communities must be able to show in-kind or additional funding support.  Community Literacy Plans (CLPs) are expected to explain how the community will sustain programming.  Ongoing support for CLPs is provided by the Saskatchewan Aboriginal Literacy Network and the Saskatchewan Literacy Network.

More information about Community Literacy Plans is available in the 2012 Community Literacy Plan (CLP) Guidelines for Applicants.
