Carleton North Community Foundation launches new
EMERGENCY COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUND
The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unpredictable and challenging time for many, with some communities experiencing higher levels of vulnerability than others. Marginalized groups, youth, children and the elderly, essential workers, and newcomers are just some of the communities that have faced increased challenges. To provide emergency relief, the Government of Canada launched the Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) to help support communities made increasingly vulnerable by the pandemic.
With COVID-19 cases increasing in many communities, and a continuous call for emergency relief, the ECSF will reopen with a second round of funding, providing much-needed assistance to charities and non-profit organizations serving communities experiencing vulnerability. The Government of Canada is flowing this funding through Community Foundations of Canada, United Way Centraide Canada and the Canadian Red Cross. We are proud to be working with CFC and the Government of Canada to deliver funding locally to ensure that our citizens are safe and healthy. Through the ECSF, we will be investing $30,000 towards local charities and qualified donees supporting people experiencing heightened vulnerability. Organizations can apply starting on October 5, 2020.

Quotes
“It has been a terrific and rewarding experience to be involved in the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund (CSRF) process, whereby the Carleton North Community Foundation (CNCF) worked on behalf of our funding partner, Community Foundations of Canada (CFC), to receive, process, and review applications and to award CSRF funding to local organizations.
More importantly, we heard from local organizations how the pandemic had significantly impacted their operations and how impactful the CSRF grants have been to help them recover and elevate their efforts for the future. The amount generously allocated to this area has allowed CNCF to significantly amplify its ongoing support of a wide and diverse variety of community-based organizations. We are grateful to the Government of Canada for this opportunity.”
