About Black-Mandated Funding Framework Grant

The Black-Mandated Funding Framework aims to address funding gaps and historical underinvestment in community organizations and groups that serve Toronto's Black communities. The model provides an equity-centered approach to addressing anti-Black racism in the City's community funding processes.

The Black-mandated Funding Framework is grounded in the following principles:

• Enabling an ecosystem of support for Black community groups.
• Ensuring City accountability and accessibility.
• Advancing equity and self-determination.

• Sponsor Organisation: City of Toronto
