The Ontario Government announced on March 12 the launch of its Francophone Community Grants Program for 2026-2027.

Minister Caroline Mulroney confirmed that organizations and businesses can apply for funding up to $50,000 through two streams: Community and Culture, or Economic Development.

Applications are open until April 23, 2026, through the Transfer Payment Ontario portal.

The program aims to strengthen French-language services, build organizational capacity, and promote Francophone culture across the province.

Since 2018, more than 260 organizations have received approximately $16 million in funding. Last year alone, 71 projects received support through this initiative.
