Research Funding Program

This 7-month project will honour the lives and legacies of missing and murdered LGBTQ2S individuals and increase awareness about missing and murdered LGBTQ2S individuals. Project activities will include: working with families to determine their needs for an LGBTQ2S safe space and the design and scope of supports needed for how they choose to honour their missing or murdered kin. This project will take place in Dryden Ontario and four additional Friendship Centre communities.

The project will develop and test a gender affirming inclusion process for LGBTQ2 communities and gender-non-binary survivors of gender-based violence to close the gaps in service provision for this underserved community.

This 36-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, its provincial affiliates, and partner Indigenous organizations to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. The organization will undertake research and analyze project outcomes in order to identify the elements needed to sustain the use of gender equality resources and tools beyond the funding lifecycle. The findings will shape the creation of a “Sustainability Guide” as well as a “Gender Equality Guide,” with participating organizations trained and supported to implement the strategies within ongoing programming.

This 36-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the National Association of Friendship Centres and its members to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. A series of activities will be undertaken to build national, provincial/territorial and local capacity. This will include training and research to guide the creation of resource manuals that share best practices on leadership, board governance, Indigenous-specific gender-based analysis, partnership development, collaboration and networking. In particular, these activities will target the Indigenous women leaders that make up 70 per cent of friendship centres directors in Canada. They will also work to maintain supports through the development of an Urban Indigenous women’s leadership network.

This three-month project will make it possible to develop a complete project proposal. The proposed project will develop an implementation plan to create and implement a formal review and evaluation process for intimate partner and family violence screening, assessment and intervention tools available to service providers working with older women (65 and up).

This 24-month project will build the capacity of women's shelters to respond to the immediate health and safety crisis posed by the current COVID-19 pandemic and in doing so to continue their important work to advance gender equality in Canada.

The organization will develop a process to disburse funding to women's shelters serving women and children victims of gender-based violence, including domestic violence, with the aim of addressing centre’s specific capacity and emergency preparedness needs. It will then coordinate the gathering, consolidation and analysis of information from ultimate recipient reporting on how funding was used. Other activities may be undertaken, as needed, including the transfer of knowledge on women's shelter needs, impacts, and responsive solutions to COVID-19.

This supplemental funding will expand the current project’s reach and provide additional funding to women’s shelters and transition houses (including indigenous off-reserve shelters and transition houses), outside of Quebec, based on their identified needs.

This 36-month project will build the capacity of sexual assault centres to respond to the immediate health and safety crisis posed by the current COVID-19 pandemic and in doing so to continue their important work to advance gender equality in Canada.

In October 2020, following the Government of Canada announcement of an additional $50M in emergency COVID-19 support, an additional $20,600,000 was provided to expand the current project to provide additional funding to sexual assault centres (based on the requested needs) and support women’s organizations and other organizations offering significant GBV supports and services to women, outside of Québec, to prepare surge capacity to deal with anticipated influx seeking support as a result of increased gender-based violence during the COVID 19 pandemic, and to support their ability to address, prevent and reduce gender-based violence.

In May 2021, additional supplemental funding of $7,197,267 was provided to CWF in order to support women’s organizations and other organizations offering significant GBV supports and services to women that were deemed eligible under the application process for funding but were unable to receive funding due to oversubscription and limited funds being available.

In August, 2021, further supplemental funding of $7,506,000 was provided to fund an additional 93 eligible organizatio
