The Emergency Community Support Fund was initially announced on April 21, 2020 by the Prime Minister of Canada. It is part of a broad series of emergency response measures by the Government of Canada.
The Fund is a $350 million emergency funding program from the Government of Canada to help charities and non-profit organizations serving vulnerable populations disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Starting May 19, qualified donees can apply for ECSF grants via CFC and participating community foundations across Canada.
