Non-profits benefit from FCC AgriSpirit fund

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) AgriSpirit Fund supports capital projects that enrich the lives of residents in communities with fewer than 150,000 people.

Applications are now being accepted from registered charities, non-profit organizations and non-profit organizations who partner with First Nations, Inuit or Métis governments/communities in rural Canada.

There is a total of $1.5 million in funding available. Projects can receive between $10,000 and $25,000.

Examples of projects include greenhouses and other agriculture and food-related initiatives, refrigeration and equipment to support food waste reduction and recovery, projects that improve accessibility and inclusion, or upgrades that reduce a building’s energy footprint.
