Background to the CRRF Community Mobilization Fund
The CRRF COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION FUND (CMF) is a $300,000.00 investment from the Canadian Race Relations Foundation to support charities and non-profit organizations serving vulnerable populations as they manage and take action on anti-racism initiatives.
This grant is being supported by Sun Life, with a generous donation of $60,000.
The Canadian Race Relations Foundation (“Foundation”) was created by the Government of Canada (“Government”) as a Crown Corporation in 1996, as part of the Japanese Canadian Redress Agreement, to reaffirm the principles of justice and equality for all in Canada. The Foundation is an independent organization and operates at arm’s length from the Government.
