Inter-Action: Canada’s New Multiculturalism  Grants and Contributions Program

Inter-Action, Canada’s new Multiculturalism Grants and Contribution Program, is administered by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).

The Program supports CIC’s mandate and the Canadian Multiculturalism Act by assisting the socio-economic integration of individuals and communities and their contributions to building an integrated and socially cohesive society.

There are two Inter-Action funding streams:

Inter-Action Projects

The Inter-Action Projects stream provides funding for long-term, multi-year community development/engagement projects to promote integration. Applications are usually considered during a Call for Proposals (CFP) process.

The Call for Proposals, under the Inter-Action Projects stream, is now open!

For more information, see:

Completed applications must be sent both by regular mail and electronically to the appropriate regional or national office by October  15, 2010, 11:59 PM EST.

Inter-Action Events

The Inter-Action Events stream provides funding to community based events that foster one or more of the following:

  • Intercultural/interfaith understanding
  • Civic memory and pride
  • Respect for core democratic values

The primary intention is to create concrete opportunities for interaction among cultural and faith communities. Events should be intended for and open to all Canadians.

Applications are considered year round.

Applications will now be accepted for the Inter-Action Events stream!
