Winter 2025 Intake Now Open
The Racial Justice Project Grant fund was established in 2022, as a part of the Racial Justice Action Plan drafted by CWCF’s Justice, Equity, Diversity, Decolonization, & Inclusion (JEDDI) Committee. This Action Plan has the long-term objective of a worker co-operative movement in Canada which is racially diverse, inclusive, and just.
This granting pool is allocated to projects led by individuals who are Black, Indigenous or other People of Colour (BIPOC), or by groups which are majority BIPOC.
Projects must support racial justice in the worker co-op sector in Canada via promotion, development and/or education initiatives.
Examples of eligible projects:
Webinar series for/about worker co-ops in BIPOC communities.
Honorariums supporting mentorship experiences by/for racialized individuals in the worker co-op sector.
Expenses for BIPOC-led enterprises to convert to a worker co-op business model (also see: the CWCF Technical Assistance grant program).
