In the last cycle for Community Grants, CFNIL committed $1,193,221 to 54 projects, programs, and events in the areas of Arts & Humanities, Education, Health, Human Services, Sustainable Community, and Youth & Families. It was the largest single Community Grants cycle in CFNIL’s history and included the largest individual grant made through Community Grants.
