The Community Support, Multiculturalism, and Anti-Racism Initiatives Program supports the mandate of the Department of Canadian Heritage by building on Canada’s strength as a diverse and inclusive society.

The Program’s objectives are to:

* support communities in confronting racism and discrimination, promoting intercultural and interfaith understanding and fostering equitable opportunities to participate fully in Canadian society
* promote and engage in discussions on multiculturalism, diversity, racism and religious discrimination at the domestic and international levels
* strengthen research and evidence to build understanding of the disparities and challenges faced by racialized and religious minority communities, and Indigenous Peoples

The Program has three funding components: Events, Projects and Community Capacity Building. It also includes one separate initiative, the Paul Yuzyk Youth Initiative for Multiculturalism.

Please note that you must submit your completed application to this email address to ensure that it is officially received by the Program: pch.soutienauxcommunautes-communitysupport.pch@canada.ca
