Government devotes $1.6 million to new Anti-Racism Anti-Hate Grant program.
The Ontario government has developed a new grant program to help communities fight back against racism and hatred.
The province has invested $1.6 million into the Anti-Hate Anti-Racism Grant Program, to support community-based initiatives that will help connect communities.
Community based non-profits, First Nations, Tribal Councils, Indigenous non-profits and Provincial Territorial Organizations can apply for grants of $40,000 over two years, or $100,000 over two years for partnerships between at least two organizations.
"Recent events, such as the horrific Islamophobic attack in London, and the rise in anti-Asian hate and antisemitism continue to remind us that racism cannot simply be relegated to Canada’s history books," said Parm Gill, Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism and Minister Responsible for Anti-Racism. "By empowering those on the frontlines of tackling hate in our communities, we can make significant progress in stamping out hate in all its forms."
Applications will be accepted until November 15th.
