What this program funds
The Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) is administered by Global Affairs Canada to support local development initiatives in various countries. The program accepts applications on a rolling basis, meaning applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis rather than on fixed deadlines. Eligible applicants and funding amounts vary by country, as does the application process and status of the program in each location. Interested organizations should verify the current status and requirements for their specific country of focus, as participation and availability differ across regions.
