This new program will provide up to $400 million in funding to support non-profit organizations and Indigenous Governing Bodies as they adapt and modernize their operations for a post-COVID world.

If your organization has a strategic project or initiative that you’ve wanted to undertake but couldn’t because of the pandemic or other barriers, this new program might be for you!
