At the time of writing, no funding program aimed specifically at land use and occupancy research exists in Canada, thus the goal of the guidebook is to make fundraising for such research easier. The relatively short list of funding programs contained in the document was arrived at through discussions with practitioners and funding agencies across Canada. Because few funding programs for cultural research exist, the guidebook notes that many practitioners recommend a partnership approach to fundraising in order to maximize returns. Most of the guidebook is taken up by the list of fundraising bodies, but there is also information on First nations and the Tax Act, strategy references, ten tips for fundraising, references for other funding guidebooks, links to wage subsidy and employment programs, and an appendix of practitioners, contacts, and other useful resources.
