Recovery and Resiliency Fund: New Support for B.C.’s Non-Profit Sector in June
A new $34-million fund for non-profit groups in British Columbia will provide much-needed support for organizations that were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to struggle during recovery.
The focus of the new fund is to support organizations whose staff, volunteers, programs, and operations have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Funding will fill crucial gaps not covered by other funding sources, such as gaming grants, with a focus on building organizational resilience.
The historic investment of $30 million from Budget 2022 includes an additional $4 million from Vancouver Foundation. Vancouver Foundation and United Way British Columbia will administer the funds.
The New Relationship Trust, an Indigenous-led funding body, will administer at least $5 million to support the recovery and resilience of Indigenous communities.
The fund is anticipated to launch in June 2022.
To stay up to date on the fund, interested organizations can subscribe to Vancouver Foundation.
