Community Support Fund
January 24, 2019

In 2016 we developed a new program designed to provide larger one-time donations to registered charities, non-profit organizations and community groups that rely on fundraising in order to complete their projects or improve their facilities, programs and/or services. Starting in 2023 we have increased our Community Support Fund from $100,000 to $150,000. The application period for this program is open from September 15 - November 15 each year.
