Fuse receives Resilient Communities Fund grant

We're pleased to announce that for 2021, Fuse received a Resilient Communities Fund grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to rebuild and recover from impacts of COVID-19 by assisting with staffing, purchasing equipment to livestream future performances, and making programs and educational materials available digitally.

This grant will not only help us to adapt or re-imagine the delivery of programs and

services to meet the needs of the community, employees and volunteers (e.g. identify new health and safety processes, personal protective equipment, technology supports, staffing and volunteer recruitment and training), it will also help us to develop new and/or alternative sources of revenues such as opportunities for public-private partnerships.

"Thanks to the grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, we can continue to adapt to new ways of working virtually, with better access to equipment and technology. We can make a greater impact on our communities while supporting the health and well-being of our volunteers!” — Dylan Langan, Executive Director
