The Community Services Recovery Fund is a $400 million investment from the Government of Canada to support charities and non-profits as they focus on how to adapt their organizations for pandemic recovery.
Now more than ever, charities and non-profits are playing a key role in addressing persistent and complex social problems faced by all Canadians. Community Foundations of Canada is working with community foundations across Canada and in collaboration with the Canadian Red Cross and United Way Centraide Canada to provide funding from coast to coast to coast.
The fund will support Community Service Organizations including non-profit organizations, Indigenous Governing Bodies and Registered Charities located in Canada. The Community Services Recovery Fund was built to respond to what charities and non-profits need right now and support them as they adapt to the long-term impacts of the pandemic.
The application deadline for the Community Services Recovery Fund was February 21, 2023. Submitted applications are now being reviewed and results will be available by early summer 2023.
