About the Community Services Recovery Fund
● The Community Services Recovery Fund is a $400 million investment from the
Government of Canada to support community service organizations, including
charities, non-profits and Indigenous governing bodies, as they adapt and
modernize their organizations.
● As the long-term recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we
welcome the Government of Canada's push for a more inclusive model of
economic growth that creates opportunities for everyone in Canada.
● From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, community service
organizations, including charities, non-profits and Indigenous governing
bodies, across Canada have shown impressive stamina and creativity in their
response to the diverse and increasingly challenging needs of their
communities.
● To support the vital work done by these organizations, the Government of
Canada provided $400 million to Employment and Social Development
Canada to create the Community Services Recovery Fund.
● The Community Services Recovery Fund responded to what community
service organizations, including charities, non-profits and Indigenous
governing bodies, needed and supports them as they adapt to the long-term
● As community service organizations, including charities, non-profits and
Indigenous governing bodies, across Canada work to support recovery in their
communities, the Community Services Recovery Fund will help them adapt
and modernize their operations to grow their support in communities.
● The Government of Canada delivered the Community Services Recovery Fund
through three National Funders – Canadian Red Cross, Community
Foundations of Canada, and United Way Centraide Canada. The National
Funders distributed funding to eligible community service organizations,
including charities, non-profits, and Indigenous governing bodies, providing
services in communities across Canada.
