Innovative Communities Fund

The Innovative Communities Fund (ICF) supports projects that build the economies of communities in Atlantic Canada.

Through the ICF, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) works with communities to find opportunities for growth. We invest in initiatives that lead to long-term employment and a stronger local economy.

The fund enables communities to:

• develop thriving industry sectors
• strengthen infrastructure in rural areas
• invest in projects to help communities overcome economic issues and take advantage of new opportunities

ACOA also fosters economic development in communities facing specific circumstances. Through the ICF, the Agency supports community projects undertaken by Indigenous groups and non-profit organizations in official language minority communities (OLMCs).
