A community response to COVID-19

Revelstoke Responds to the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 restraints altered the way organizations and non-profits function in our communities. The resulting economic impact put many programs and charities in jeopardy. In response, the federal government launched the Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) on May 19th, 2020, through Community Foundations of Canada. These funds were distributed to support struggling charities and non-profit organizations serving vulnerable populations as they managed the impacts of COVID-19. Our Community Foundation was awarded $40,000 in the first rollout and $30,000 in the second to distribute to charitable organizations offering local support initiatives. We were so pleased to have the opportunity to grant to local organizations in their time of need.
