August 25, 2023By

Today, the Community Foundation for Lennox & Addington is pleased to announce $536,903 in funding to support 10 projects in Hastings and Lennox and Addington Counties through the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund. 

The Community Services Recovery Fund is a one-time investment of $400 million by the Government of Canada to help Community Service Organizations, charities, non-profits and Indigenous governing bodies located in Canada. 

The following projects are being supported throughout Hastings and Prince Edward Counties:

  • $50,000 was invested to fund Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings Prince Edward Addictions and Mental Health Services for their Intranet Design and Development project
  • $12,610 was invested to fund Belleville General Hospital Auxiliary Inc. for their Ontario’s Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) project
  • $63,835 was invested to fund Belleville General Hospital Foundation for their New digital tools and strategy: BFHF events and lotteries project

  • $69,983 was invested to fund Morningstar Mission Relief Inc. for their Technology upgrade, support and sustainability project
  • $18,995 was invested to fund Newburgh United Church for their New Signage project

Community service organizations are at the forefront of addressing communities’ needs.  Since the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, they have struggled with increased demand for their services, reduced revenues, declines in charitable giving due to the rising cost of living, and a greater need to make use of digital tools.  Many organizations are struggling to recover and adapt their services to the changing needs of Hastings, Prince Edward and Lennox & Addington Counties.
