National Anti-Racism Fund

Let us fund your ideas!

The CRRF works to strengthen the social fabric of our society by supporting, enabling and convening community groups and organizations through our grants, services, and network of public, research, and community partners. One of the most important ways that the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) fights racism in Canada is through our National Anti-Racism Fund (NARF).  

NARF supports our commitments to build a national framework for the fight against racism in Canadian society by strengthening the capacity of racialized communities, religious minority groups, and Indigenous people to carry out their own work to combat racism and create opportunities for meaningful dialogue, learning, and sharing with the broader public.  Over the past three years, we have contributed $7.9 million to support the powerful work of more than 400 organizations across Canada.  

NARF provides two types of grant funding: 1) Projects and 2) Events and Youth Initiatives. Each funding stream has different criteria and different amounts of available funding.

We are excited to announce that we are once again accepting applications from organizations working on anti-racism projects in Canada to be supported by NARF in 2025/2026. In this round of funding, will allocate $2 million in NARF grant funding towards anti-racist projects in Canada.
