The fund supports projects in communities with fewer than 50,000 people. Projects can receive between $10,000 and $25,000, from a total available fund of $1.5 million.

The application deadline for the 2026 fund is May 15. Applicants can view the eligibility requirements, past projects and apply online by visiting www.fccagrispiritfund.ca. FCC will announce the selected projects in the late fall.
