Farm Credit Canada is now accepting applications from registered charities and non-profits for the FCC AgriSpirit Fund, which will award $1.5 million to rural community groups this year.
Grants, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, are for projects that enrich the lives of residents in cities, towns or Indigenous communities with fewer than 150,000 people.
Examples include refrigeration and equipment to support food waste reduction and recovery, construction of community buildings or improvements/upgrades that reduce a building’s energy footprint and various other agriculture and food-related initiatives in rural communities.
