Local Love in a Global Crisis: Round 2

The Government of Canada is releasing the balance of the $350 million Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) in a second round of funding ($73.9 million). These funds are available to support communities continuing to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to help charities and non-profit organizations adapt and increase frontline services for vulnerable populations. Applicants can begin submitting applications October 5, 2020.

The federal government has partnered with United Way Centraide Canada (UWCC), the Canadian Red Cross (CRC) and the Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) to deliver this funding to community service organizations across Canada.

The first round of ECSF funding supported dozens of organizations in Colchester to adapt and deliver critical support until March 31, 2021.

Local registered charities who serve people primarily impacted by poverty are eligible to apply. For more information on which organization to apply to, please read our Nova Scotia Applicant Guide.
Please contact ed@colchester.unitedway.ca for more information and for application.
