FCC AgriSpirit Fund Open for Applications

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is now accepting applications from registered charities, non-profits, and First Nation and Inuit communities in rural Canada for the FCC AgriSpirit Fund.

The fund supports capital projects that enrich the lives of residents in communities with fewer than 150,000 people. There is a total of $1.5 million in funding available. Projects can receive between $10,000 and $25,000 each.

Examples of projects that can receive funding include greenhouses, community gardens and other agriculture and food-related initiatives, refrigeration and equipment to support food waste reduction and recovery, projects that improve accessibility and inclusion, or upgrades that reduce a building’s energy footprint.

The application deadline is May 15, 2024. Applicants can view the eligibility requirements, past projects and apply online by visiting www.fccagrispiritfund.ca.
