Ontario Opens $12.75M Grant for Community Safety and Hate Prevention

Ontario is offering $12.75 million through the Anti-Hate Security and Prevention Grant. Eligible organizations can receive up to $10,000 to improve safety or help prevent hate.

The program has two funding streams:

• Security and Infrastructure: Physical upgrades, cybersecurity, training and short-term security measures.
• Special Projects: Community-led work to prevent hate, promote education and awareness, and improve readiness for hate-related incidents.

Religious and spiritual groups, First Nations, Inuit, Métis and Urban Indigenous organizations, and other community-serving organizations may be eligible. Applications are open and processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
