The WES Mariam Assefa Fund is looking to identify and fund promising new ideas from organizations working with employers to advance more inclusive practices that improve economic mobility for immigrants and refugees in Canada. The Fund is particularly excited to meet organizations that: are led and staffed by people who bring lived experience from immigrant and refugee communities and communities of color; center workers’ voices and perspectives in how they design and implement their solutions; and bring a systems-change mindset. 

For funding in 2022, please submit letters of intent (LOIs) through their application portal by November 15.  Selected organizations will be awarded up to $200,000 in flexible, multi-year funding. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3zugmWu
