People in B.C. will see stronger, more inclusive communities as local organizations can now apply for provincial grants that back projects fighting racism and promoting multicultural understanding.
“Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and valued in their community,” said Niki Sharma, Attorney General. “By investing in community-led projects, we’re giving organizations the tools they need to bring people together, celebrate diversity and make lasting progress against racism.”
The annual B.C. Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Grants program provides eligible organizations with as much as $5,000 to cover costs for projects that help reduce systemic racism and/or promote multiculturalism through education, awareness and interactions. Examples of projects that have received funding include cultural celebrations, educational workshops, film festivals, anti-hate helplines and other activities that promote equity and inclusion.
Applications for grants will be accepted until 5 p.m. (Pacific time) on Oct. 14, 2025.
