Nov 08, 2024

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is giving $1.5 million through its FCC AgriSpirit Fund to 82 community groups across Canada to support rural capital projects.

“At FCC, we are incredibly proud to support projects that make a positive impact in the rural communities where we live and work,” said Justine Hendricks, FCC president and CEO. “Through the FCC AgriSpirit Fund, we’re investing in capital projects that enhance the quality of life and foster growth in these communities. From improving food security to enhancing community spaces, these projects are a testament to the creativity and dedication of those committed to building a brighter future for rural Canada.”

This year, the FCC AgriSpirit Fund awarded between $10,000 and $25,000 to various community improvement initiatives that enrich the lives of residents in cities, towns or Indigenous communities with fewer than 150,000 people.

Over the past 21 years, the FCC AgriSpirit Fund has supported 1,697 projects, an investment of $22.5 million.
