About Community Action Grants
Arthritis Society Canada is committed to extinguishing the fire of arthritis in communities across Canada. Our Community Action Grants are aimed at providing more opportunities for people to connect, learn, and thrive with arthritis in their own communities. Living with pain can be isolating, but together we can fight the fire of arthritis.
Arthritis affects 1 in 5 people in Canada. Community Action Grants support communities exploring local solutions for people living with arthritis. We have supported groups and individuals addressing arthritis-related needs specific to their communities, including health inequities and disparities that impact access to arthritis information and care.
In 2025-2026, Arthritis Society Canada selected 4 initiatives to move forward with funding in communities across the country. To learn more about each of the selected projects, please see our official announcement.
In 2026-2027, we will not be opening a funding competition while we evaluate the impact and potential evolution of this program to reach more underserved communities.
