The Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program (MARP) is launching a new call for proposals as part of Canada’s Action Plan on Combatting Hate. This new Anti-Hate Call is intended to fund initiatives to address and prevent hate in Canada with the following objective:
Empower communities to prevent and address hate by fostering inclusion, resilience, and unity through community-led, intersectional projects that will contribute to reducing social isolation and fragmentation, and reinforce collective identity, building a more inclusive, socially cohesive and united Canada.
Initiatives funded under this objective have the following expected results:
– Improved community-led strategies to address and prevent hate, promote safety, reinforce a collective identity and a sense of belonging.
– Improved support networks and resources for individuals and communities affected by hate, reinforcing a collective commitment to dignity, healing, and resilience.
To be eligible for funding, organizations or groups must be:
– Canadian not-for-profit organizations, associations, and unincorporated groups;
– Non-federal Canadian public institutions such as boards of education, schools, colleges and universities, chambers of commerce, law enforcement and police agencies, hospitals and other health care institutions;
– Provincial, territorial, regional and municipal governments and their agencies;
– Indigenous not-for-profit organizations (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis); or
– Indigenous governments, band councils and tribal councils.
We encourage you to read the application guidelines before you begin completing your application package, and to contact a program advisor in your area if you have any questions about the eligibility of your project and its activities.
We have created this video to support you in completing your funding application. We hope you’ll find helpful tips and tricks!
The application form and budget are attached.
We would like to inform you about a change to program intakes at Canadian Heritage. Going forward, all intake periods will open at 8:00 a.m. E.T. and close at 4:00 p.m. E.T. We wanted to let you know about this change so that you can plan and submit your application accordingly.
We have put this in place to provide greater clarity and consistency across our programs. This change is an important first step in a larger effort to modernize how we manage and deliver grants and contributions. Standardized intake times simplifies the application process for you and ensures that our Client Service and Public Support unit will be available to provide you with any assistance you may need right up until the closing of the intake period.
Please take note of the time zone and ensure that your completed and signed application package is submitted to financementpmlcr-fundingmarp@pch.gc.ca no later than October 22, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. (ET) (see mandatory, internal MUN deadlines, above). Please include your organization’s name and the project title in the subject line of your application email. Applications submitted after this deadline will not be accepted.
In addition to the external funding agency’s submission procedures, this opportunity must also be submitted for Departmental, HSS Faculty, and Research Initiatives and Services (RIS) institutional reviews and approvals via Memorial's Researcher Portal (RP). In order to facilitate the HSS Faculty’s administrative review, please ensure "Heather C. O'Brien (Grants Facilitator)" and “Matthew Milner (Grants Facilitator)” are added as "Team Members" on your RP file.
In accordance with University-wide approval protocols, all tabs of the RP file must be completed, the completed application must be uploaded to the “Attachments” tab, all supporting documentation including support for cash and in-kind commitments and/or letters of support must also be uploaded, and “Submit” must be pressed prior to the HSS internal deadline listed below. HSS cannot guarantee completion of an administrative review for application files that are incomplete and/or are submitted after the HSS deadline. For more detailed submission instructions and information, please consult the HSS Research Support Services website.
If you plan to apply to this competition or other research funding opportunities (as either PI or CI), e-mail an HSS Grants Facilitator, Heather C. O’Brien (HSSResearchAdmin@mun.ca or 864-8603) or Matthew Milner (HSSResearchGrants@mun.ca or 864-8050), to notify the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of your intent to apply. E-mailing the intent to apply as early as possible will help to facilitate an efficient review. A Grants Facilitator can answer any questions you may have about internal or external submission procedures and may also be able to help with proposal development.
