The Government of Ontario announced that applications are now open for the Francophone Community Grants Program, which supports the vitality of Ontario’s Francophone community. The program plays a central role in strengthening the development of the Franco-Ontarian community by supporting nonprofits, social enterprises and businesses that deliver French-language services or serve Francophone markets.
The Francophone Community Grants Program supports projects that aim to:
- Strengthen the capacity of organizations and/or businesses to provide products and services to Francophones in the province
- Promote the recruitment and/or training of bilingual Francophone staff
- Provide opportunities to celebrate and foster understanding of Ontario’s Francophonie
The Francophone Community Grants Program has two funding streams:
- Community and Culture
- Economic Development
Projects funded under the Francophone Community Grants Program cannot receive financing in the same year from:
- Other Ontario Ministry of Francophone Affairs programs
- Programs offered by the Secrétariat du Québec aux relations canadiennes
