A new fund has been announced to help community organizations across Canada recover from COVID-19.
The federal government earmarked $400 million for the Community Services Recovery Fund.
Nicole Dawe, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of NL says applications are open to charities, non-profits and indigenous groups to help improve efficiency, sustainability and to cope with financial losses since 2020.
Dawe says they have roughly $3 million to distribute to applicants across Newfoundland and Labrador. She says it’s a one-time benefit meant to be a bookend to previous government funding that was provided throughout the pandemic.
The deadline to submit an application is February 21.
