Charities are vital to Canada’s recovery, but time is running out

Existing funding models too often focus on short-term projects and do not provide the necessary capital to renew and strengthen our organizations for the future.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy PM and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland are pictured with the 2021 federal budget on April 19. Since the $400-million Community Services Recovery Fund was announced in April, the government has consulted the sector about our needs. But we are still waiting for the funding to be released and to learn who will have access, what the fund will support, and for how long, write executives from five Canadian charities and non-profits.
