We invest in initiatives that lead to long-term employment and a stronger local economy.

The fund enables communities to:

  • develop thriving industry sectors
  • strengthen infrastructure in rural areas
  • invest in projects to help communities overcome economic issues and take advantage of new opportunities

Eligible Applicants

Eligible recipients include:

  • non-commercial and non-profit organizations
  • Indigenous bands and Indigenous-controlled non-profit entities
  • co-operatives and local development associations
  • municipalities and their agencies
  • educational institutions
  • industry or sector associations

Eligible Expenses

To be considered for ICF funding, your project proposals must:

  • clearly explain links and partnerships within the community
  • address challenges and opportunities in your area
  • have the potential to lead to economic growth
  • be over and above your regular activities
  • have a clear end date
  • show that you have the skills and resources needed to manage related activities

Investments under the ICF do not have to be repaid. The amount we provide is based on the level of funding each project needs to proceed.
