AMO administers the Fund to 443 municipalities in Ontario. Funding is provided by the Government of Canada.

Canadian municipalities receive over $2.4 billion from the Canada Community-Building Fund (formerly known as the federal Gas Tax Fund) each year; Ontario's share is over $900 million. Funds are distributed to communities across the province on a per-capita basis.

Since its launch in 2005, municipalities receiving CCBF funds through AMO have invested over $10 billion from the Fund into about 14,000 local projects. Funds can be invested across 18 project categories to promote economic growth, strengthen communities, and improve the environment.
