It is a difficult moment for communities in Canada and around the world. We understand that the impacts of this crisis are profound across your community and for many areas of your core business. Community foundations have important work to do. We are committed to supporting all foundations who may be seeking guidance or a space to exchange with others while navigating the crisis over the coming months.
This document is to support qualified donee applicants interested in applying to Community Foundations of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) program.
Thanks to funding from the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund led by Employment and Social Development Canada, the Canadian Red Cross, Community Foundations of Canada and United Way Centraide Canada are supporting community organizations across the country as they deliver services to those who are most vulnerable to the health, social and economic impacts of COVID-19.
Use this chart to find out which stream of the ECSF you will need to apply to. Is your organization’s mission and mandate to serve communities province or nationwide?
Grants through the Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF), activated by Community Foundations of Canada, can only be made to Qualified Donees (QD). Non-qualified donees(NQD) should apply directly to the Canadian Red Cross. If an application with a fiscal sponsor secures a grant, payment will be made to the QD who will be responsible for disbursing funds to the NQD.
