AMO administers the Fund to 443 municipalities in Ontario.
Canadian municipalities receive over $2 billion from the Canada Community-Building Fund each year; Ontario's share is over $800 million. Funds are distributed to communities across the province on a per-capita basis.
Since its launch in 2005, municipalities receiving Canada Community-Building funds through AMO have invested nearly $8.5 billion from the Fund into about 11,700 local projects. Funds can be invested across 18 project categories to promote economic growth, strengthen communities, and improve the environment.
