Algoma Community Foundation – second round of Emergency Community Support Fund

The Algoma Community Foundation will be providing $87,000 to support local charities responding to COVID-19.

Co-chair Jessica Bolduc says it is part of an ongoing partnership with Community Foundations of Canada, United Way Centraide Canada and the Canadian Red Cross, funded through the Government of Canada’s $350M Emergency Community Support Fund.

Bolduc says local charities and non-profit organizations are pillars in Algoma and they are struggling with increased demand at the same time as revenues have decreased.

She adds a first round of funding was disbursed through the community foundation network across Canada in June and July – some $210,000 to 12 local organizations in the area.
