$400 million is up for grabs for charities and not-for-profits.
The money is coming from the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund to help organizations support pandemic recovery.
Locally, $1.75 million will be made available through the United Way Elgin Middlesex to enable charities, non-profits and Indigenous governing bodies in London, Elgin and Middlesex counties and in local First Nations communities to invest in people, systems and processes, and redesigned programs and services that:
• adapt the way they deliver services to support the needs of their staff and volunteers;
• buy equipment such as computers and software;
• create new ways of working, such as developing new fundraising approaches;
• provide support for staff and volunteers, such as staff training, supports for mental health and wellbeing; and
• develop plans to receive funding from diverse sources.
The fund responds to what is needed right now as well as supporting long-term recovery from the pandemic.
Applications are now open with the deadline to apply being February 21st.
