Honouring Black Brilliance

This year marks 30 years of honouring Black History Month in Canada. The 2026 national theme, “Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations: From Nation Builders to Tomorrow’s Visionaries”, invites us to recognize the enduring contributions of Black Canadians, while investing in the future they are building. 

Supporting them through donations and volunteering is a tangible way to honour Black brilliance and invest in the city’s future. It also recognizes that expertise is rooted in lived experience and helps ensure Black communities have the resources they need to thrive, now and for generations to come. 

Below, we’ve highlighted our most recent Black-led and Black-serving grantee organizations that are making meaningful impact across communities in Toronto.
