The Community Crisis Response Fund provides one-time financial assistance to support communities impacted by traumatic incidents and community violence.

The fund and the application have been updated to enhance access to financial resources for impacted communities to deliver projects that promote community healing and capacity building.

Key changes include:

  • The Community Crisis Respond Fund is now available in two streams: general applications and youth-led projects.
  • Applicants can now apply for up to $5,000 in funding toward their wellbeing and safety projects.
  • Applicants now have three months to apply from the date the incident occurred.
  • Applicant layout and design has been updated to better support project ideas and project development.

Projects must meet all eligibility criteria to be considered for funding and your application will only be assessed under the funding stream that it is submitted.

Projects are required to follow public health guidelines and trustee procedures/polices with regards to physical distancing.
