As we consider some of the spending plans, we should keep in mind that the budget bill has to pass before it can be implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the 700+ page document, here are some highlights you should be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budget 2021 proposes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To launch planned disbursements of the $755 million Social Finance Fund and deploy up to $220 million over its first two years to ensure our most vulnerable can access much-needed services, and help our communities recover more quickly It is estimated that the Social Finance Fund could attract up to $1.5 billion in private sector capital to support the development of the social finance market, create thousands of new jobs, and drive positive social change.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To renew the Investment Readiness Program for $50 million over two years, starting in 2021\u201322. This program supports charities, non-profits, and social purpose organizations in capacity-building activities such as business plan development, expanding products and services, skills development, and hiring.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To provide $400 million in 2021\u201322 to Employment and Social Development Canada to create a temporary Community Services Recovery Fund to help charities and non-profits adapt and modernize so they can better support the economic recovery in our communities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To launch public consultations with charities over the coming months on potentially increasing the disbursement quota and updating the tools at the Canada Revenue Agency\u2019s disposal, beginning in 2022. This could potentially increase support for the charitable sector and those that rely on its services by between $1 billion and $2 billion annually.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To explore the potential for social bonds to complement the government\u2019s existing debt program. The government intends to include this topic as part of the Debt Management Strategy consultations this fall.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To provide $2 million in 2021\u201322 to Public Safety Canada to enhance its Communities at Risk: Security Infrastructure Program. This program helps protect communities at risk of hate-motivated crimes, by providing not-for-profit organizations such as places of worship, schools, and community cultural centres with funding to enhance their security infrastructure.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To provide $200 million in 2021\u201322 to Employment and Social Development Canada to establish a new Black-led Philanthropic Endowment Fund.
