Emergency Community Support Fund

Thanks to funding from the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF), led by Employment and Social Development Canada, the Canadian Red Cross made support available to community organizations across the country, as they delivered vital services to those who are most vulnerable to the health, social and economic impacts of COVID-19.


All projects focused on ensuring community-based supports to at-risk populations in Canada or addressed a pressing social inclusion or wellbeing need.

The $350 million provided by the Government of Canada was administered by three intermediaries, including the Canadian Red Cross. The Red Cross has vast experience granting to registered charities, qualified donees and non-profit organizations and is proud to have partnered with hundreds of community-based organizations for the first time.

The Canadian Red Cross received $80 million as part of the ECSF and offered two programs: a Granting Program for Non-profits and a Personal Protective Equipment and Training to Prevent Disease Transmission Program
