Grants

Community Services Recovery Fund

Now more than ever, Community Service Organizations (charities, non-profits, and Indigenous Governing Bodies) are playing a key role in addressing persistent and complex social problems faced by all Canadians. The Community Services Recovery Fund is a $400 million investment from the Government of Canada to support charities, non-profits, and Indigenous Governing Bodies as they focus on how to adapt their organizations for pandemic recovery.

Community Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador is proud to be working with community foundations across Canada as part of the Community Services Recovery Fund. Applications closed on February 21, 2023. Funding decisions will be shared in mid to late May 2023 and full results announced publicly in summer 2023. 

Investment Readiness Program

Funded by the Government of Canada, the Investment Readiness Program (IRP)  supports social purpose organizations as they contribute to solving pressing social, cultural and environmental challenges across Canada.

Its goal is to help social purpose organizations build their capacity to participate in Canada’s growing social finance market and prepare themselves to take on investments. IRP is currently open for an additional round of applications thanks to the renewed $50 million investment from the Government of Canada. The IRP is supporting social purpose organizations as they recover from the pandemic and build more resilient communities for the future.

Applications closed on November 22, 2022 for Round 3 of this fund. Funding Decisions can be found here. 

Smart & Caring Community Fund

The Smart & Caring Community Fund provides grants to support a wide range of community enrichment programs across the province that have a direct and lasting impact. Further information will be shared in early Fall 2023 about future opportunities to receive grants from this fund.
