National Anti-Racism Fund – Event and Youth Initiative Grant Recipients
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). Over the past two years, we have contributed $7.9 million to support the powerful work of more than 400 organizations across Canada.
Our first and second cycles of 2023-2024 NARF Events and Youth Initiative awardees include organizations who are planning events across Canada which are community-based, public, social, and/or learning occasions and activities relating to the themes and objectives of the National Anti-Racism Fund, including conferences, summits, workshops, galas, festivals, exhibits, and reconciliation or intercultural activities. They also include organizations who are planning projects that are youth-led or focused on youth (persons below the age of 30), including conferences, summits, workshops, galas, festivals, exhibits, and reconciliation or intercultural activities.
