BRAMPTON, ON (Nov. 26, 2025) – Peel Region’s Community Investment Program, in partnership with United Way Greater Toronto, is proud to announce the launch of three targeted capacity-building initiatives designed to strengthen Black-led, Black-serving, and Black-focused (B3) not-for-profit organizations across Peel.

These programs deliver on Peel’s 2025 commitment to support B3 organizations through leadership development, organizational sustainability, and enhanced community impact.

The three capacity-building programs include:

1. Evaluation training workshops – Delivered by the Network for the Advancement of Black Communities (NABC), these sessions equip Peel B3 Fund recipients with tools and skills to evaluate and measure the impact of their programs.

Capacity building with Afrocentric approaches – Led by the Black Canadian Fundraisers’ Collective (BCFC), this training series supports organizational growth and leadership development through Afrocentric frameworks, ensuring culturally relevant and responsive approaches. This series is open to all not-for-profit organizations in Peel with priority given to B3 not-for-profit organizations.
