Providing additional funding to help non-profits adapt to the challenges created by the pandemic
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, our PC government has remained committed to supporting those struggling the most.
That’s why we are proud to support 559 projects through non-profits across the province with more than $42 million in grant funding through the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s $83-million Resilient Communities Fund. The Fund has already supported 1,045 projects across Ontario since it was announced in August 2020. This funding will help non-profits adapt to the challenges created by the pandemic – ensuring they can provide the best service possible and make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families across the province.
The Resilient Communities Fund provides grants of up to $150,000 to eligible non-profit organizations to cover a broad and flexible range of needs, such as:
- Mental and physical health and well-being supports for staff or volunteers
- Support to adapt or re-imagine program delivery and services to meet the needs of communities, employees and volunteers, incorporate new health and safety processes, or purchase new technology and personal protective equipment
- Renovations and facility updates to meet the changing needs of the communities they serve.
While we work towards recovery, we’re proud to support programs like the OTF Resilient Communities Fund that are making a positive contribution in communities across Ontario.
