Deadline: 16-Nov-22
Alberta is now seeking applications for its Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Grant Program to support community initiatives to increase cultural and cross-cultural awareness, and to educate Albertans to prevent and address racism.
The program promotes education and awareness about multiculturalism and anti-racism. It is not intended to address systemic racism and the barriers that limit full participation of Indigenous and racialized people in society, such as lack of affordable housing or barriers to accessing employment or healthcare.
Supporting community organizations empowers them to have a voice in determining solutions. Grants distributed through the program allow organizations to start the conversation about multiculturalism and anti-racism through community-led initiatives.
Funding Information
- Applicants may request up to $30,000 for their project. There is up to $1 million total available for the first year of the grant program in 2022-23.
Eligibility Criteria
- These Alberta-based organizations can apply for grant funding:
- non-profit organizations (incorporated, registered or established under provincial or federal legislation) including multicultural and faith-based organizations
- First Nations
- Métis Settlements
- Project activities must:
- meet one or more of the program outcomes
- be able to measure what the project will achieve, aligned to the program outcome
- include an educational component for participants, including at events and festivals
- take place in Alberta and benefit Albertans, and
- start on or after program application date and be completed within 12 months from the date the grant agreement becomes effective.
