FCC contributes $1.5 million to 81 community projects across Canada

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is giving $1.5 million through its FCC AgriSpirit Fund to 81 community projects across Canada to support rural capital projects.

“Every AgriSpirit Fund project reflects a community coming together to solve a need,” said Justine Hendricks, FCC president and CEO. “We are proud to play our part in supporting those efforts and contributing to these essential spaces, services and infrastructure that help rural communities thrive. These projects show what’s possible when local vision and national support work hand in hand.”

This year, the FCC AgriSpirit Fund awarded between $10,000 and $25,000 to various community improvement initiatives that enrich the lives of residents in cities, towns or Indigenous communities with fewer than 150,000 people.

Over the past 22 years, the FCC AgriSpirit Fund has supported 1,778 projects, an investment of $24 million.

Registered charities, non-profit groups, municipalities and First Nations, Métis or Inuit governments/communities interested in funding can visit www.fccagrispiritfund.ca for eligibility requirements and view past projects.
