Muskoka Community Foundation helping to administer $400 million Recovery Fund

By Doppler Online On January 22, 2023 Community

From the Muskoka Community Foundation:

The Community Foundations of Canada, Canadian Red  Cross, and United Way Centraide Canada, are pleased to announce that the application process for the  Community Services Recovery Fund is now open. Community foundations, including the Muskoka  Community Foundation are managing the application process alongside the Canadian Red Cross and  local United Ways to reach a broad and diverse range of community service organizations, such as  charities, non-profits and Indigenous governing bodies. 

The Community Services Recovery Fund is a historic one-time investment of $400 million that will help  community service organizations to adapt, to modernize and to be better equipped to improve the  efficacy, accessibility and sustainability of the community services that they provide, so they can  continue to support communities across Canada through the pandemic recovery and beyond. 

Community service organizations are at the forefront of addressing communities’ needs, especially  during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the early phases of the pandemic, they have struggled with  increased demand for their services, reduced revenues, declines in charitable giving due to the rising  cost of living, and a greater need to make use of digital tools. Many of them are struggling to recover  and adapt their services to the changing needs of the Districts of Muskoka and Parry Sound. 

Applications for funding can be submitted until February 21, 2023. Organizations are encouraged to  complete the interactive quiz to determine where and how to apply. Additional information and  resources, including an applicant guide, can be found on the Community Services Recovery Fund  website.  

Lynn DeCaro, Executive Director of the Muskoka Community Foundation noted that “The Community  Services Recovery Fund will support charities, non-profits and Indigenous governing bodies in the  Districts of Muskoka and Parry Sound. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, these organizations have  worked tirelessly to support our community. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and  commitment to creating healthy and vibrant communities. Through this Fund, the Muskoka  Community Foundation will support projects at charities, non-profits and Indigenous governing bodies  that invest in their internal systems and processes, making them more resilient for the future.” 

Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, Karina Gould stated “The Government is  supporting the long-term COVID-19 pandemic recovery in communities across Canada through this  historic fund. This transformational investment with the National Funders supports a more inclusive  model of economic growth that creates opportunities at the community level. The Community Services  Recovery Fund will strengthen the ability of community service organizations, including charities, non profits and Indigenous governing bodies, to deliver services and resources where they will have the  most impact.”To learn more about Community Services Recovery Fund please visit Community Services Recovery Fund  – Community Foundations of Canada or contact Lynn DeCaro, Executive Director of the Muskoka  Community Foundation, at 705-646-1220 or [email protected]
