The Canada Caribbean Disaster Risk Management (CCDRM) Fund invites Caribbean-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), and community based not-for-profit organizations (CBOs), to submit proposals for projects designed to reduce disaster risk in vulnerable communities. A wide range of organizations are eligible to apply to the CCDRM Fund. They include, but are not limited to, youth groups, women’s groups, church organizations, service clubs, fisher associations, farmers groups, district disaster management organizations, environmental groups, and associations for the aged.

Grants will be made on a competitive basis. Priority will be given to projects in the $25,000 to $75,000 CDN range. Projects may range in duration from a few months to a maximum of two years in duration.
