Description
Black-led charities and non-profit organizations are key to fighting anti-Black racism and ending inequities across the country. However, Black-led and Black-serving community organizations are underfunded by Canada’s philanthropic sector.

The Government of Canada is committed to supporting Black Canadian communities, advancing equity and diversity, and combatting different forms of racism, discrimination, and hate. As part of this commitment, the government is investing in initiatives that recognize the contributions of Black Canadians, while addressing the systemic barriers and challenges faced by Black communities in Canada that have been worsened by the pandemic.
