We are excited to announce this year's recipient of the Impact Grant! Each year, the Fredericton Community Foundation accepts applications from local charities for our largest annual grant. The Impact Grant is our "game changer" grant, aimed at making a significant impact in our community and at a local organization. This year, we received 14 applications representing over $290,000 in need in our community. This year’s recipient rose to the top of the process! The 2020 I...mpact Grant has been awarded to Jobs Unlimited to create relaxing and stimulating spaces for their service participants! This grant of $29,600 will be used to purchase much-needed equipment and tools that many of us might take for granted. We cannot wait to see how this project will improve the quality of life for their service participants. Jobs Unlimited is a not-for-profit organization providing employment and work experience opportunities to adults with intellectual disabilities in the greater Fredericton area.
