[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

*Multi-year flexible grants for charities and non-profit organizations
disproportionately impacted by the pandemic to support their recovery and
long-term resiliency. *

The Recovery and Resiliency Fund
<https://www.vancouverfoundation.ca/grants/recovery-and-resiliency-fund> is
a ground-breaking new fund made possible through a partnership between
Government of BC, Vancouver Foundation, United Way BC, and New Relationship
Trust that will distribute $34 million to charitable and non-profit
organizations, of which Vancouver Foundation has contributed $4 million.

This Fund will provide *flexible, three-year grants of $50,000 and $72,000
per year to eligible organizations that have been disproportionately
impacted by the pandemic*. $5 million of the Fund will go to New
Relationship Trust to grant directly to Indigenous-led organizations with
annual revenues of more than $1 million.
Purpose of the Fund

Although organizations of all sizes in the charitable and non-profit sector
have been negatively affected during the COVID-19 pandemic, some
organizations have been disproportionately impacted because they have
limited resources to sustain their operations. Meanwhile, they’ve also
faced an increased demand for their programs, activities, and services, and
have experienced a decreased operational ability to meet the demand due to
funding and staffing challenges.

This Fund supports organizations that have been disproportionately impacted
by the COVID-19 pandemic with recovery efforts and long-term planning. It
seeks to distribute the funding amongst those in need in our community as
follows:

   - funding Indigenous-led organizations with annual operating budgets of
   any size
   - funding non-Indigenous organizations with annual operating budgets of
   less than $1 million
   - funding proportionately more organizations located in and/or operating
   in rural areas
   - funding proportionately more organizations in full partnership with,
   or led by, equity-denied communities that center the communities they
   represent
