The National Funders network, comprising organizations like Tropicana Community Services, Africa Centre, Black Business Initiative and Group 3737, invites proposals until December 15, 2023. Eligible non-profits can apply for up to $105,000 in two streams: Capital Assistance and Capacity Building. SBCCI aims to enhance social inclusion, well-being, and address challenges faced by Black communities in Canada, combating discrimination and racism.
