Government of Canada - Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program

The Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program (MARP) is launching a new call for proposals as part of Canada’s Action Plan on Combatting Hate. This new Anti-Hate Call is intended to fund initiatives to address and prevent hate in Canada with the following objective:

Empower communities to prevent and address hate by fostering inclusion, resilience, and unity through community-led, intersectional projects that will contribute to reducing social isolation and fragmentation, and reinforce collective identity, building a more inclusive, socially cohesive and united Canada.

Initiatives funded under this objective have the following expected results:

• Improved community-led strategies to address and prevent hate, promote safety, reinforce a collective identity and a sense of belonging.

• Improved support networks and resources for individuals and communities affected by hate, reinforcing a collective commitment to dignity, healing, and resilience.

To be eligible for funding, organizations or groups must be:

• Canadian not-for-profit organizations, associations, and unincorporated groups;

• Non-federal Canadian public institutions such as boards of education, schools, colleges and universities, chambers of commerce, law enforcement and police agencies, hospitals and other health care institutions;

• Provincial, territorial, regional and municipal governments and their agencies;

• Indigenous not-for-profit organizations (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis); or

• Indigenous governments, band councils and tribal councils.
