The Community Foundation of Kawartha Lakes and its local partners at United Way and Red Cross will review each local application. You can find out more information about the evaluation criteria in the Applicant Guide as found at www.communityservicesrecoveryfund.ca.  Application deadline is Feb. 21.

The Community Foundation of Kawartha Lakes has been allocated $265,000 from the Community Services Recovery Fund (CSRF) to support organizational systems and processes that will enable local community services to bolster and modernize their internal operations, whether it is a new special project to build capacity, much needed investment in data management or building a new funding strategy. Projects funded through the Community Services Recovery Fund can start on or after May 1, 2023 and must be completed by June 30, 2024.
