Investing in the Future of Indigenous Communities
At CINUP, our commitment to Indigenous communities goes far beyond benefits and coverage — it’s about partnership, respect, and long-term impact.
The CINUP Indigenous Scholarship Program is one way we’re putting that commitment into action. We know that access to education is one of the most powerful tools for creating change, and too often, financial barriers can stand in the way of Indigenous youth pursuing their goals.
This scholarship program is about more than just financial support — it’s about recognizing the potential, passion, and strength of Indigenous students who are shaping a better future for their families and their communities.
By supporting students in their educational journeys, we’re investing in the next generation of Indigenous leaders, changemakers, knowledge keepers, and professionals. It’s a small step with a big purpose: helping Indigenous youth feel seen, supported, and empowered to succeed.
We’re proud to stand beside our plan members and their families in a way that reflects our shared values — of community, equity, and meaningful reconciliation.
OUR GOAL
To bring Indigenous communities together as one collective force to achieve marketplace power, enhancing employee benefits, services, and stability.

Testimonials
“We are very pleased to be a customer of CINUP. We enjoy the ease with which we are reimbursed for covered medical benefits. We also appreciate the informational sessions held by CINUP.
“CINUP has been our benefits provider for the past six years. I’ve found staff at CINUP are always courteous and helpful and are quick to respond to my many questions and requests. CINUP strives to provide clients with the best service and benefit options, and is exceptional at providing training to their clients including a fun-filled and informative annual workshop. And, although we are away over in British Columbia, I have never found the distance to be an issue. Staff members are always accessible by email or telephone and CINUP also provides regular office visits from their staff, including visits/training upon request. Thanks CINUP!
“CINUP has been involved with our company since 2002. I had little involvement until I took over the position of Plan Administrator within our company in March 2005. Being a novice with group insurance I learned quickly that the staff is always ready, willing, and more than able to answer any questions that I or the employees bring to them. They usually have an immediate answer and in the rare case that they don’t, they work diligently until they have one. There is regular contact with our service representative to ensure that all is well and to offer assistance. I am very pleased with the service we have received and look forward to many more years.
“CINUP’s great service is provided by knowledgeable and experienced group service representatives who appreciate and are well connected to the realities regarding benefits delivery within First Nations organizations. They provide a wide range of products to ensure a perfect fit to the unique needs of an organization and its employees. We have always found their on-site consultations and workshops extremely helpful in ensuring administrators are fully informed of current and future initiatives.
