Overview
This grant enables eligible organizations to host and carry out their own engagement sessions and ensure the needs and concerns of people in communities impacted by racism are heard. If you represent a non-profit organization, First Nation, Metis Settlement or municipality, apply for up to $2,500 to host a session in your community.
Feedback from the engagement sessions will inform how the Government of Alberta can play a leading role in addressing racism and identify what anti-racism actions, initiatives, programs and services are needed to help address racism in Alberta.
These community engagement sessions are part of a larger engagement Alberta's government is conducting on anti-racism. Government officials will be holding in-person sessions by invitation only at locations across the province. An online survey will be available for all Albertans. Engagement sessions led by communities will help government gather perspectives from additional people in the province.
