TORONTO — The Ontario government is continuing to support its vibrant Francophone community with the launch of the 2025-2026 edition of the Francophone Community Grants Program (FCGP).

Since 2017, the FCGP has been enhancing the cultural and economic vitality of the Francophone community by funding initiatives that improve frontline services and promote the French language and culture.

Community organizations and businesses have until May 26 to submit their proposal under one of two streams: Community and Culture or Economic Development. These projects should aim to strengthen the capacity of organizations and businesses to provide products and services to Francophones in the province, promote the recruitment and training of bilingual Francophone staff, or offer opportunities to celebrate and foster understanding of Ontario’s Francophonie.

“Ontario’s Francophonie is at the heart of our provincial identity and prosperity,” said Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Francophone Affairs. “The FCGP offers Francophone community organizations and businesses the opportunity to continue developing promising projects in key sectors which will strengthen the economic vitality of our French-speaking communities for years to come.”

The Francophone Community Grants Program is part of the government’s commitment to supporting Francophones communities across the province by strengthening their economic, social, and cultural vitality.
