For $400M Community Services Recovery Fund, feds tap Canadian Red Cross, United Way Centraide Canada, and Community Foundations as national funders

Applications for CSRF funding will open on January 6. Organizations serving local communities are eligible for one-time grants of up to $200,000 and nationally-focused initiatives are eligible for up to $500,000

Why It Matters

Unlike many grants on offer, the federal Community Services Recovery Fund isnโ€™t focused on supporting new programs and services, but rather provides a much-needed injection of cash to support organizational capacity building and innovation. The organizations tapped to distribute the funds have power over who accesses support.
