I started the endowment fund in honour of my parents, Eva and Eric Simpson, and my husband, Ed Szarga.
Each year, I decide which charitable organization I wish to donate to. It may or may not have an environmental focus.
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.
