The Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) seeks to support organizations to combat racism, promote events and education, and build a more anti-racist society. 

The $3 million National Anti-Racism Fund (the Fund) will be disbursed over two years, which is a valuable contribution to the continuation of CRRF's mission: developing, sharing, and applying knowledge and expertise to contribute to the elimination of racism and all forms of racial discrimination in Canadian society.  
 

Who or what is eligible for the Fund?

Applications must align with one or more of the following themes and objectives:

  1. Systemic racial barriers: Reducing barriers to inclusion by addressing systemic racism in education, healthcare, the justice system, public services, employment, and public life.
  2. Research and education: Promoting and increasing availability and accessibility of data, evidence, and community insights on race relations in Canada.
  3. Public awareness: Informing public policies by highlighting systemic and institutional barriers. 
  4. Cultural and intercultural community building: Creating cross-cultural opportunities through discussions and dialogue on race, religion, building awareness, and collaborations.  

In addition, projects or events should be designed to achieve one or more of the following results:

  • Increase public awareness of public policy issues related to race relations, anti-racism, or anti-hate nationally, regionally, or in local communities;
  • Increase public awareness of Canada's cultural diversity;
