CIF Proceeds with October 1, 2020 Deadline
Thanks to an Emergency Pandemic Response Gaming Grant of $5 million from the Government of Saskatchewan the Community Initiatives Fund is able to proceed with its regular October 1 application deadline. This one-time grant to the CIF is intended to help offset the loss of more than $8 million the CIF expected to receive this year due to the temporary closure of Casinos Regina and Moose Jaw due to COVID-19. This will allow us to continue providing funding through our regular Community Grant Program to support the delivery of programs and services in communities throughout Saskatchewan. Organizations are expected to follow all provincial public health orders and recommendations when planning and delivering their programs.
