The Ontario Trillium Foundation has introduced the one-time Resilient Communities Fund to invest in the recovery and rebuilding efforts of the non-profit sector impacted by COVID-19.
Due to the impact on capacity, increased demand, as well as the anticipated community needs for organizations to recover from the impacts of COVID-19, the Ontario Trillium Foundation is redirecting funds from the Grow grant and Capital grant cycles for 2020 into this new fund.
Non-profit organizations are struggling to operate and deliver their programs and services and meet community needs. The Resilient Communities Fund will respond to the recovery needs non-profits and communities are challenged with as a result of the impacts of COVID -19 and will support them as they return to building healthy and vibrant communities.
With this one-time fund, OTF is supporting a flexible range of capital and non-capital activities to aid in the medium to longer-term recovery efforts of organizations to help with their stabilization and build their capacity and resiliency.
