Description
Please note applicants will only be eligible for funding to a maximum of one application.
The National Anti-Racism Fund (NARF)’s Projects Grants are one way that the CRRF supports communities across Canada in the fight against racism and discrimination.
The Canada Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) is accepting applications from organizations working on anti-racism projects in Canada. These projects must be implemented between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026. Please read through the guidelines below for a clear understanding of the NARF Projects funding.
Organizations are invited to apply if they plan to implement projects that are aligned with one or more of the key themes and objectives listed below and are designed to achieve one or more of the expected results.
The CRRF’s strategic priorities – Catalyst for Policy Change and Community Capacity and Knowledge Mobilization – facilitate systemic change that enables all people in Canada to benefit from a society free of racism and mobilizes communities to respond to racism. This includes shifting public policy at the federal, provincial and municipal levels, within the criminal justice and education systems, and other institutions in ways that align with this vision.
While a public policy focus is not a mandatory requirement for NARF Projects funding, the CRRF is particularly interested in projects that address gaps in current public policies, offer viable alternatives or solutions that address gaps in public policy, or seek to implement new public policies aimed at dismantling systemic racism and the structural barriers faced by Indigenous, Black, and other racialized communities, as well as religious minority groups.
We welcome applications from organizations that are critical of public institutions and challenge the status quo. Recognizing that public policies are dynamic, we also welcome projects that offer innovative ways for communities to mobilize and create common solutions to advance public policy.
Successful EOI applications will be invited to submit a Full Application by early December 2024. Please note that all decisions are final and there is no appeal process through this funding program.
