OTF Announces the Resilient Communities Fund

Ontario Basketball affiliated clubs who are registered non-profit organizations have an opportunity to apply for funding to offset losses caused by the coronavirus.

The Ontario Trillium Foundation has introduced the one-time Resilient Communities Fund to invest in the recovery and rebuilding efforts of the non-profit sector impacted by COVID-19.

Due to the impact on capacity, increased demand, as well as the anticipated community needs for organizations to recover from the impacts of COVID-19, the Ontario Trillium Foundation is redirecting funds from the Grow grant and Capital grant cycles for 2020 into this new fund.

Non-profit organizations are struggling to operate and deliver their programs and services and meet community needs. The Resilient Communities Fund will respond to the recovery needs non-profits and communities are challenged with as a result of the impacts of COVID -19 and will support them as they return to building healthy and vibrant communities.

With this one-time fund, OTF is supporting a flexible range of capital and non-capital activities to aid in the medium to longer-term recovery efforts of organizations to help with their stabilization and build their capacity and resiliency.

OTF is offering two application deadlines:

  • September 2, 2020 at 5 pm ET.
  • December 2, 2020 at 5 pm ET.

Visit the Resilient Communities Fund resource page to learn more about the fund and how organizations can apply. Applications are being accepted.

We encourage you to share this opportunity with your community!
