Our History
NIGGV operates under a volunteer Board of twelve Directors and receives funding from various government ministries, but it cannot solely depend on these sources. Thus, the NIGG Foundation was formed in 2000 to aid with fundraising efftorts at the Village. As a not-for-profit organization and registered charity, the Foundation funds projects that benefit the residents of Ina Grafton.
