About Jordan’s Principle

Jordan’s Principle is a funding program named after Jordan River Anderson, a First Nation child who stayed in the hospital with serious medical needs while the governments disputed which entity should pay for the care he needed at home. Sadly, Jordan died at five years old without spending a single day at home with his family. Jordan’s Principle ensures that First Nations children get fair access to health, education, and social services, just like any other child.

IFNA Support

To better support IFNA families, we have established a Jordan’s Principle team and online request form. Our team provides guidance on completing applications and navigating processes to empower families in accessing the funding needed to purchase necessary products and/or services for their children or children in their care. Our goal is to help you get your child the care you know they deserve.

Our team can help with:

• Providing information
• Assisting with applications
• Liaising with the funder
• Purchasing items or services on your behalf
• Assisting with gaining reimbursement
• Supporting you through appeals
