Farm Credit Canada is now accepting applications from rural community groups for its AgriSpirit Fund, which will award $1.5 million in funding this year to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary.
For the past 14 years, FCC has awarded registered charities and non-profit organizations in rural Canada between $5,000 and $25,000 for various community improvement initiatives. Past projects range from purchasing equipment for emergency services and recreation centres to building care homes and playgrounds.
The application deadline is April 17, with chosen projects announced in August. For eligibility requirements, past projects, and to apply online, go to www.fccagrispiritfund.ca.
