Deadline to apply for Anti-Racism Action Program Funding - Dec. 17th

Canadian Heritage's Multiculturalism Branch has launched a Call for Proposals for its
Anti-Racism Action Program (ARAP)

The ARAP is intended to help address barriers to employment, justice, and social participation among Indigenous Peoples, racialized communities and religious minorities.

Further objectives of the program include: 

• support communities confronting racism and discrimination, promote intercultural and interfaith understanding and foster 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; and 
• strengthen research and evidence to build understanding of the disparities and challenges faced by racialized and religious minority communities, and Indigenous peoples. 
  
  

Initiatives funded under the ARAP are expected to: 

• increase the capacity of organizations to focus on systemic barriers to employment, justice and social participation;
• increase the delivery of resources, programs, campaigns and services which address barriers to employment, justice and social participation;
• increase participation by Indigenous Peoples, racialized communities and religious minorities in projects which address barriers to employment, justice and social participation;
• increase the availability and accessibility of data, evidence and community insights regarding the disparities experienced by Indigenous Peoples, racialized communities and religious minorities. 

Successful applicants will be expected to report on how their projects contribute to these results.

The deadline for submitting applications under the ARAP is December 17, 2019.
