The Justice Grant Program supports initiatives that address key areas within the justice system, including reintegration, prevention, and mental health supports. It aims to reduce incarceration risks, provide tools for healing and advocacy, and expand access to legal services within Black communities. The program also focuses on challenging racial discrimination, promoting legal system reform, and driving community education and policy change. Additionally, it seeks to empower Black individuals to thrive and engage meaningfully within the justice system.
To be eligible, your organization must be a “B3”: a Black-led, Black-focused, and Black-serving organization. This means at least two-thirds of your organization’s leadership must self-identify as Black, and a significant portion of your program activities must prioritize Black communities in Canada. Other eligibility requirements include:
– Your organization must be a registered Canadian not-for-profit organization or charity.
– Have an existing or proposed project in the justice space that meets the grant criteria.
