Ontario Launches 2026-2027 Francophone Community Grants Program

March 16, 2026

Our government fully recognizes the essential contribution of Francophones to the economic, cultural, and social vitality of the province.

The Francophone Community Grants Program (FCGP) is a key pillar of the Francophone Economic Development Strategy and offers two complementary funding streams: Community and Culture, and Economic Development.

The FCGP supports the development of Ontario’s Francophone community by strengthening the capacity of community organizations, social enterprises, and organizations that provide services in French or target Francophone markets.

The application period for 2026–2027 is open until Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., giving organizations more than seven weeks to submit their projects and plan for a nine-month implementation period.

Through FCGP, the government supports the delivery of French language services and products, the recruitment and training of bilingual staff, and the promotion of Ontario’s Francophonie and its strategic contribution to the province.
