Community Futures Program

FedNor administers the Community Futures (CF) Program in Northern Ontario, supporting 24 Community Futures Development Corporations (CFDCs). CFDCs offer a wide variety of programs and services supporting community economic development and small business growth.

In particular, they provide:

  • Strategic community planning and socio-economic development;
  • Support for community-based projects;
  • Business information and planning services; and
  • Access to capital for small and medium-sized businesses and social enterprises.

These community-based, not-for-profit organizations are staffed by professionals and are each governed by local volunteer boards of directors familiar with their communities' needs, concerns and future development priorities.
