In addressing the challenges that the nonprofit sector is facing due to the pandemic, CCVO’s first order of priority is to centre community in Alberta’s recovery and address the gap in Alberta's recovery plan and recent budget. CCVO made a submission to the provincial government pre-budget with a request for a $350 million investment into a Social Infrastructure Fund. Social infrastructure are assets to society that support the quality of life of a nation, region, city, or neighbourhood. In consultations around our Social Infrastructure Fund ask, we heard that it was a bold ask, but needed. Based on the rich feedback we have received, we have updated that ask and the revised report will be released by the end of June 2021.
