The Climate Action Fund will support initiatives that directly reduce contributions to climate change or mitigate against the effects of climate change. Projects may have a direct impact, propose a pilot project to prove an intervention works or provide education that will promote any of the above.
The Emergency Community Support Fund was initially announced on April 21, 2020 by the Prime Minister of Canada. It is part of a broad series of emergency response measures by the Government of Canada.
The Fund is a $350 million emergency funding program from the Government of Canada to help charities and non-profit organizations serving vulnerable populations disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Starting May 19, qualified donees can apply for ECSF grants via CFC and participating community foundations across Canada.
