Community Services Recovery Fund Investments
United Way East Ontario is proud to have worked with United Way Centraide Canada as part of the Community Services Recovery Fund.
The Community Services Recovery Fund is a one-time investment of $400 million to help Community Service Organizations (charities, non-profits, Indigenous governing bodies) adapt, modernize, and be better equipped to improve the efficacy, accessibility, and sustainability of the community services that they are providing through the pandemic recovery and beyond.
