The Japanese Canadian Legacies Community Fund addresses the intergenerational impact that government actions before, during, and after World War II had on the Japanese Canadian community.

The Fund provides grants across six funding streams:

• Community Projects
  Support is provided for community-led projects that promote Japanese or Japanese Canadian culture or opportunities for Japanese Canadians to connect with each other and their culture or identity. Japanese Canadian organizations, non-Japanese Canadian organizations, and unincorporated Japanese Canadian groups may apply.
   
• Infrastructure
  Support is provided to assist Japanese Canadian organizations and groups with building improvements or capital purchases. Grants assist with renovations, repairs, accessibility upgrades, and large capital purchases for Japanese Canadian community centers and organizations.
   
• Arts
  Support is provided to assist Japanese Canadian artists who are Japanese Canadian descendants or survivors with funding to create and produce finished artistic projects or artworks.
   
• Sports
  Support is provided to Japanese Canadian descendants or survivors that are high-performance athletes or high-performance coaches for their development and pursuit of sport excellence.
   
• Intergenerational Wellness
  The focus is on projects that help families and individuals heal the intergenerational impact that past government actions had on the community. Support is provided for projects that facilitate intergenerational family sharing and healing, seniors intergenerational group wellness projects that support seniors and survivors, and projects that support intergenerational group gatherings that address the collective historical trauma of the Internment Era experience.
   
• Scholarships
  Support is provided to Japanese Canadian descendants and survivors for undergraduate studies, vocational and career studies, and graduate studies at Canadian post-secondary institutions, including studies that involve subjects aligned with the history of Japanese Canadians or the impact that the history has had on the Japanese Canadian community.
