Indspire is a national Indigenous-led charitable organization that invests in Indigenous Peoples to help reach their highest potential in education and by inspiring achievement. Our partnership with Indspire began with investments in Indigenous post-secondary education, but today it has evolved into a 360-degree approach where we focus on investing in K-12 programs, post-secondary scholarships and events that recognize Indigenous leaders.

Shell provides post-secondary financial awards and supports delivery of Indspire programs for Indigenous students.
