Miik Foundation

Miik is a women-owned-and-run sustainable clothing brand made entirely in Canada. We are a small-but-mighty team committed to empowering women with our ethos to Do good, Look good, Feel good. From day one, Miik has been committed to giving back to our communities, empowering women and equity-deserving individuals, and bolstering the platforms of those in need. The Miik Foundation was created to support those causes close to our hearts. A large part of our day-one initiative to contribute positively to Canadian communities is to ensure all women and non-binary individuals receive equitable resources for education. We are honoured to be able to present the Miik Award to Indigenous students.

The Miik Foundation Award for Indigenous Women

Three individual awards will be distributed annually to Indigenous women, non-binary, or two-spirited individuals who are attending post-secondary institutions across Canada, studying a variety of programs in the Health, Environmental, Law and Social Services areas. Although demonstrated financial need will be the primary consideration, other factors (such as academic merit or performance and involvement in or contribution to the community as a whole) will also be taken into consideration.
