“Strong rural communities are built by people who recognize a local need and take action,” FCC president and CEO Justine Hendricks said in a news release.

“Through the FCC AgriSpirit Fund, we’re proud to support local projects that strengthen the places where people live, work and gather,” she added.

“These investments reflect FCC’s commitment to the long-term vitality of rural Canada and to the communities that help our agriculture and food industry thrive.”

FCC said the funding is intended to help rural communities address local needs and build capacity for the future.

Since 2004, the AgriSpirit Fund has supported 1,861 projects and invested $25.5 million in community improvement initiatives across Canada.

The program supports projects in cities, towns and Indigenous communities with populations of under 50,000.

Registered charities, non-profit organizations, municipalities and First Nations, Métis and Inuit governments and communities can find eligibility requirements and information about past projects at fccagrispiritfund.ca.
