The qathet Community Response Fund (CRF) is a partnership between Powell River & District United Way, Powell River Community Foundation and First Credit Union. The CRF’s mandate is to support the qathet region’s most vulnerable populations during COVID-19 through grants given to non-profit and charitable organizations. The most recent intake saw an additional $6,000 distributed in early September. That contributed to a total of $148,000 donated from the CRF to date. We are i...n this together! The next intake deadline is Friday, October 30th at 5pm. Details and the online application form can be found at: https://www.firstcu.ca/.../GivingBack/CommunityResponseFund/ #CommunityResponseFund #CommunityFoundation #NonProfit #Charity #qathet #PowellRiver #TexadaIsland #Tlaamin #Lund #SouthofTown #NorthofTown #LasquetiIsland #SavaryIsland
