FFBC Reports

Our vision is clear: a future where Black communities in Canada have the resources, infrastructure, and influence necessary to shape their own solutions and self-determination. This year, FFBC reached a remarkable milestone. To date, we have invested approximately $30 million to support Black families and communities across Canada in critical areas including healthcare, housing, education, and economic development.

This support has reached more than 400 Black-led, Black-serving, and Black-mandated organizations and initiatives. These groups came forward with solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing their communities — and they did so with the knowledge, expertise, and commitment that only those rooted in community can bring. In resourcing their leadership, FFBC is actualizing its vision and mission.

Beyond grantmaking, FFBC also responded to the need for a coordinating role in policy and advocacy for Black communities. Playing a lead role in a coalition of Black organizations and leaders, we convened and collaborated to strengthen investments in Black communities. Through consultations and our Days on the Hill advocacy in Ottawa, these efforts yielded tangible results, reflected most recently in the federal 2024 Fall Economic Statement, which renewed funding for the Black Entrepreneurship Program, Supporting Black Communities Initiative and other initiatives critical to our communities.
