Community Services Recovery Fund
The Community Services Recovery Fund is a $400 million investment from the Government of Canada to support charities and non-profits as they focus on how to adapt their organizations for pandemic recovery. Now more than ever, charities and non-profits are playing a key role in addressing persistent and complex social problems faced by all communities. 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.
This fund is a collaboration between United Way Centraide Canada, Canadian Red Cross, and Community Foundations of Canada to provide funding to community service organizations, including non-profit organizations, Indigenous governing bodies, and registered charities located across Canada. The Community Services Recovery Fund supports organizations as they adapt to the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The three areas of focus are:
- Investing in People Funding will support one-time projects that focus on how organizations recruit, retain, engage and support their personnel, including staff, volunteers and boards of directors. (Canadian Red Cross)
- Investing in Systems and Processes Funding will support one-time projects that invest in the systems and processes involved in creating the internal workings of an organization’s overall structure. (Community Foundations Canada)
- Investing in Program and Service Innovation and Redesign Funding will support one-time projects primarily focused on program and service innovation and redesign using information gained during the COVID-19 pandemic. (United Way Canada)
