From 2019 to 2022, the Supporting Black Canadian Communities Initiative (SBCCI) played a crucial role in bolstering Black-led, Black-focused, and Black-serving (B3) nonprofit organizations across Canada through its Capital Assistance funding program. This initiative provided financial support to address critical infrastructure and equipment needs, thereby enhancing the capacity of these organizations to serve their communities effectively. The grants enabled B3 organizations to undertake minor renovations or retrofits of their facilities and to purchase essential equipment.
The program’s primary objectives were to:
1) Enhance Organizational Capacity: By improving infrastructure and acquiring necessary equipment, B3
organizations were better equipped to fulfill their missions and manage their operations more efficiently.
2) Improve Service Delivery: With enhanced facilities and resources, these organizations could offer better services to Black communities across Canada.
Organizations eligible for the program could apply for grants of up to $100,000. These funds were allocated for two main types of improvements:
-
Equipment Purchases (e.g., upgrading computers or software): To equip workspaces and community spaces are identified by red points on the attached map.
-
Renovations/Retrofits: To undertake improvements or modifications to existing facilities are indicated by green points on the map.
-
Both Equipment and Renovations/Retrofits (e.g., renovating community kitchens to increase capacity): Projects that include both types of funding are represented by blue points on the map.
The dataset provided focuses exclusively on projects that have been completed and closed. It does not include projects that are still ongoing, those that were found ineligible for funding, or projects that could not be finished.
