Whether you are a youth looking to volunteer to support seniors, a community members wanting to deliver care packages to isolated community members, or someone who wants to share your time and talents with one of our programs, on our board, or to help us fundraise to better serve the community, there is a role for you with AFRO!

Did you know that Black-led and Black-serving organizations are severely underfunded in Canada? 

According to a new, groundbreaking report called Unfunded, despite accounting for 3.5 percent of Canada’s population, Black communities receive a marginal amount of support from Canadian foundations. Black-led and Black-serving community organizations have been severely underfunded, with Black-led groups receiving only 0.03 percent of funds in the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years and Black-serving organizations receiving only 0.15 percent in the same timeframe.

You can help change that narrative by financially supporting AFRO and other Black-led and Black-serving organizations in our community. Your donation allows us to deliver our programs and provide support and resources to members of our community. 

AFRO is a charitable, non-for-profit organization. It should be noted that AFRO has received Charitable status from the Government of Canada.
