The Community Facilities Improvement Program invests in community projects initiated by local not-for-profit organizations which enhance existing facilities within Nova Scotian communities. The Community Facilities Improvement Program will target the following key areas: develop and expand existing community facilities operated by not-for profit organizations; improve the functionality of existing community facilities; contribute to the growth of the local economy.

Canadian Worker Coop Federationhttp://canadianworker.coop/Tenacity Works Fund The Worker Co-op Fund, “Tenacity Works”, is an investment fund whose purpose is to create new and to expand existing worker-owned co-operatives in all regions of Canada. Tenacity Works is owned and operated by the CWCF. As a revolving loan fund, Tenacity Works usually has funds available for making loans. Funds are used to invest in worker, multi-stakeholder and worker-shareholder co-ops across Canada. The main purpose is to allow worker co-operatives to leverage a Tenacity Works loan to obtain additional financing from traditional lenders. To date, Tenacity Works has approved more than 35 loans. Loans are available for amounts between $15,000 and $50,000. The Tenacity Works Fund generally provides term loans over a 5-year term with a fixed rate of interest. The rate is 2 percentage points above the prime lending rate with a minimum rate of 8%. The loans are usually placed as subordinate debt, which only has priority over the members’ own investments. By receiving the loan as subordinate debt the co-op has an increased chance of securing additional conventional financing from credit unions of other financial institutions as the conventional lenders can have first claim on the assets of the co-op.
