Canadian charities and non-profit organizations devastated by the pandemic are looking to the federal government to help keep their doors open. About 86,000 charities in Canada, or 50 per cent, have suffered revenue losses, according to Phillips. "Right now, with the Indigenous Community Support Fund, we expect that we would be able to continue to provide support until about May or June," said Formsma. Jocelyn Formsma, executive director of the National Association of Friendship Centres says current federal supports will last until May or June. We need funding reform.
