The Richmond Community Foundation is participating in the Community Services Recovery Fund, and will be dispersing funds to charities and non-profits in Richmond.
The Community Services Recovery Fund is a one-time, $400 million investment by the Government of Canada to help charities and non-profits adapt and modernize. This investment will strengthen the sector as it supports recovery in communities across the country.
The Richmond Community Foundation is working with community foundations across Canada as part of the Community Services Recovery Fund. This fund is a collaboration between the Canadian Red Cross, Community Foundations of Canada, and United Way Centraide Canada to provide funding to community service organizations, including non-profit organizations, Indigenous Governing Bodies, and registered charities located in Canada.
Now more than ever, charities and non-profits are playing a key role in addressing persistent and complex social problems faced by all Canadians. The Community Services Recovery Fund responds to what charities and non-profits need right now and supports organizations as they adapt to the long-term impacts of the pandemic.
Dave Frank, chair of the Richmond Community Foundation, says the Community Services Recovery Fund will help organizations recover from the pandemic and enhance their capacity in a post-pandemic world.
"This is a unique and very exciting funding opportunity, one that will benefit community service organizations of all types and sizes. We hope to see many applications from across Richmond's charitable sector,” says Frank.
The application portal launches on Jan. 6 and will remain open until Feb. 21. Visit communityservicesrecoveryfund.ca to find out more about how to apply, explore resources for applicants, and sign up for upcoming webinars.
