# Fund Contract

Now we will fund our contract with LINK so it can send CCIP Messages and Tokens

We will open <mark style="color:red;">Metamask</mark> and confirm we are on the <mark style="color:purple;">Avalanche Fuji Testnetwork</mark>

Send your <mark style="color:blue;">CrossSourceMinter</mark> 5 LINK Tokens

Let's check that our `CrossSourceMinter` has received the 5 Link.

In Remix,  select the <mark style="color:blue;">`CrossSourceMinter.sol`</mark> Contract in the Deployed Contracts section and select <mark style="color:green;">`linkBalance()`</mark>`.`  Pass it the address of <mark style="color:blue;">`CrossSourceMinter`</mark> and then click.  It will show you the contract's LINK balance! It should return <mark style="color:green;">5000000000000000000</mark> which = 5 LINK
