Applications are again being accepted for the $1 million FCC AgriSpirit Fund until June 14. Selected projects will be announced in September.
Rural community groups can summit a proposal for a capital project worth $5,000 to $25,000 for community enhancement.
Projects must meet specific criteria and be completed before Dec. 31, 2016. All projects are based in communities with populations less than 150,000. Examples include buying equipment for emergency services and recreation centres to building care homes and playgrounds.
FCC received 866 applications last year and gave $1 million to 93 community groups.
The organization has provided $7.5 million in funding to more than 700 capital community projects since 2004.
