Applications are now open for the RBC Foundation Community Infrastructure Fund, which provides support for retrofits, repairs or upgrades to existing public community buildings, as well as construction of new community spaces.
The fund focuses on two key objectives:
- Environmental sustainability
Funding capital improvements that aim to reduce the carbon footprint or increase energy efficiency of newly constructed or existing community spaces. - Improving accessibility
Funding projects that enhance physical accessibility, ensuring that indoor and outdoor spaces are inclusive for people of all abilities.
Who can apply?
The fund is open to hospitals, cultural institutions, community centres and other registered charities in Canada.
How is funding determined?
The amount of funding is based on the organization’s size and reach, and the regional population. Funding amounts could range between $25,000 and $2.5 million, payable over a maximum of five years. Projects must be completed within the approved funding term.
Please note: RBC Foundation typically funds no more than the equivalent of 20% of an organization’s operating budget.
