As part of the modernization and transformational initiatives of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, an improved process for community-based core funding is in development with the intention of improving the delivery of services to the people of the province.

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador will be seeking input from select community groups in the near future on this new process.

Government is reassuring community groups that current core funding will remain in place while the new application and assessment process is being implemented. As a result, organizations are asked to contact their relevant funding department if they have specific questions regarding the process for funding for Budget 2023.

Community groups play a vital role in the delivery of services to communities throughout the province and supply approximately 16,000 jobs to the provincial economy.
