Brant Community Foundation Awards 13 Community Service Organizations Funding Totalling $442,000 through the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund 

Brant Community Foundation is proud to have worked 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 across Canada.  These include non-profit organizations, Indigenous Governing Bodies and Registered Charities. The Community Services Recovery Fund responds to what these organizations need right now and supports organizations as they adapt to the long-term impacts of the pandemic.

The Community Services Recovery Fund is a one-time investment of $400 million to help organizations adapt, modernize, and be better equipped to improve the efficacy, accessibility, and sustainability of the community services that they provide through the pandemic recovery and beyond.
