Ontario Anti-Hate Security and Prevention Grant 

The Ontario Anti-Hate Security and Prevention Grant (2024-25) is a program that will provide funds to eligible faith-based, cultural, 2SLGBTQQIA+, First Nations, Inuit, Métis and Indigenous organizations and communities to enhance or implement measures to ensure community spaces remain safe and secure from hate-motivated incidents. 

To be eligible for the grant, the applicant must hold gatherings of religious, spiritual or cultural significance, at least once a month as part of regular activities. 2SLGBTQQIA+ organizations that primarily hold 2SLGBTQQIA+ annual cultural gatherings are also eligible. The applicant must be a registered charity or not-for-profit corporation without share capital, First Nations band council, First Nations tribal council or First Nations education authority.

Eligible organizations in Ontario can receive a one-time grant of $5,000, $7,500 or $10,000 as well as additional funding for non-registered chapters that meet eligibility guidelines.

Applicants are required to use the entirety of the grant on eligible expenses related to safety, security and capacity building measures against hate-related incidents for the organization (including additional non-registered chapters, if applicable). All approved applicants will have until September 2, 2025, to spend all funds received on eligible expenses.
