Community Futures Program

The Community Futures (CF) Program supports 61 Community Futures Development Corporations (CFDCs) in Ontario— FedDev Ontario serves 37 in rural Eastern and Southern Ontario. The remaining 24 CFDCs located in the North are served by FedNor.

CFDCs offer a wide variety of programs and services supporting community economic development and small business growth.
In particular, they provide:

1. Strategic community planning and socio-economic development;
2. Support for community-based projects;
3. Business information and planning services; and
4. 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.
