UFCW Canada Equity Grant Program

UFCW Canada is proud to announce the second year of the Grant Program.

The program builds on UFCW Canada’s longstanding mandate to support the work of both UFCW members and the communities they serve.

The Equity Grant Program aims to support newcomer programs, human rights initiatives, and community action projects.

Annually, the new Equity Grant Program will consist of a total of three grants – worth $1,000 each – made available to UFCW Canada members and allies. Application deadline for the 2023 Equity Grant is September 30, 2023.

Prospective applicants will have the ability to apply under one of three different streams. These include Newcomer/Immigration Stream; Human Rights Stream and the Community Action Stream.

Applicants must supply a 250-word short description or a short video on what they will do if they are named a winner of the Equity Grant Program.

UFCW Canada reserves the right to select the awarding of a grant recipient earlier than September 30th if the requested initiative for which the grant is to support involves a project with a timeline envisioned before the September 30th deadline, and UFCW Canada selects this application. Best wishes to all applicants.

PLEASE NOTE – The Equity Grant Program is not a program which provides funding to support individual education endeavours.
