Across the country, community foundations are working hard to provide COVID-19 specific programming and measures to help support those impacted by the virus. The following grant programs supported organizations making a difference in our community:
The Community Services Recovery Fund is a $400 million investment from the Government of Canada to support non-profit organizations, Indigenous Governing Bodies and Registered Charities as they focus on how to adapt their organizations for pandemic recovery.
We were pleased to partner with Community Foundations of Canada, Canadian Red Cross, and United Way Centraide Canada in 2023 to distibute funding to community service organizations to help them modernize their organization's operations.
We are pleased that we were able to work with Community Foundations of Canada in 2021 to flow $105,000 from the Government of Canada to charitable organizations serving populations experiencing increased vulnerability in our communities during the pandemic.
The Community Foundation launched the COVID-19 Community Response Grants on April 23, 2020 in partnerships with the Municipality of Trent Hills. These grants are intended to support the work of our Trent Hills organizations who are at the forefront of this issue and collectively striving to ensure our most vulnerable citizens are safe and healthy.
We are proud to announce that we have awarded the full $50,000.00 to 11 local organizations.
