Community Futures Program

People engaged in a business meeting

Through its Community Futures Program (CFP), FedNor supports 24 Community Futures Development Corporations (CFDCs) located throughout Northern Ontario. These community-based, not-for-profit organizations are staffed by professionals and are each governed by local volunteer board of directors familiar with their communities' needs, concerns and future development priorities. 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;
  • Business information and planning services; and
  • Access to capital for small and medium-sized businesses and social enterprises.
