Resources to Enhance Your Community Services Recovery Fund Projects

By Vantage Point

We have been truly inspired by the recent non-profit capacity building investments made through the Community Services Recovery Fund and are cheering along all of you who have received support for your innovative and strategic projects.

As a team, we wanted to consider how we can complement the support given. Together, we compiled a list of what we think are powerful resources (some from our own libraries and toolboxes and some from other organizations across British Columbia) that may be relevant to recipients of this critical funding and even those of you who were not recipients.

We hope you find these resources useful as you take your next steps!
