“the fund will support key projects that enhance the lives of residents or contribute to sustainability in communities”
– Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
For the past 15 years, FCC has awarded rural community groups between $5,000 and $25,000 in FCC AgriSpirit funding for various community improvement initiatives. This year, the fund will support key projects that enhance the lives of residents or contribute to sustainability in communities. Examples include capital expenditures on equipment purchase and installation, energy efficient building improvements and repairs and purchasing rescue and fire equipment.
Since inception of the FCC AgriSpirit Fund in 2004, FCC has supported over 1,170 capital projects in rural Canada totaling $13.5 million in donations.
