The Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) is a $350 million emergency funding program from the Government of Canada. The global pandemic has left no community untouched, and it is having a disproportionate impact on vulnerable Canadians who are less equipped to deal with its health, social and economic impacts.. The North Thompson Communities Foundation is proud to be involved in the allocation of funding.

It warms my heart to get messages from folks who served so diligently on your Communities Foundation.... I wanted to share this post sent to us by one of the past Board members www.facebook.com/100000908662084/posts/pfbid02e76kK6fjkfrbvU3YnLHkUiM1baUmjekavCCeeJuqByK2Mmg2RvN...
Last evening North Thompson Communities Foundation attended the Yellowhead Community Services AGM. Director (Treasurer) Cheryl Thomas (left) and Vice Chair Antoon Houben (right) took this opportunity to made a presentation to YCS Board Chair, Jack Keough (centre). This investment from the Government of British Columbia has empowered local Community Foundations to make decisions affecting their communities. This award from the Community Prosperity Fund, with its emphasis on poverty reduction and social inclusion, will be used to support the many programs of YCS with their organizational needs and operational expenses.
