City set to give groups $215K in grants to curb racism in Edmonton

Nov 4, 2021

More than a dozen non-profit groups are slated to get a slice of grant money from the City of Edmonton to help them combat racism.

Nearly $215,000 is divvied up among 16 groups in the city's new anti-racism grant program, which council's community and public services committee is scheduled to discuss at a meeting Monday.

Grants range from just under $3,000 to $25,000 for projects involving arts, education, workshops and sessions.

Keren Tang, councillor for Ward Karhiio, said the program can bolster grassroots organizations already working on projects to curb discrimination based on race, religion and heritage.
