Through this 18-month project, Techsploration will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address its ability to deliver and support long-term sustainable programming in Nova Scotia and expansion areas related to women employed in science, engineering, trades, and technology (SETT), leading to greater organizational capacity. The project will include an environmental scan, the development of a 5-year strategic plan and a non-profit business model, the analysis of expanding pilot findings and assessing Techsploration's current resources and capabilities to develop a long-term financial plan and funding diversification options.

Through this 18-month project, Supporting Survivors of Abuse and Brain Injury through Research (SOAR) will build its capacity to advance gender equality for women survivors of gender-based violence and brain injury in Canada. It will address and enhance its governance and human resource practices, communications, and sustainability. To accomplish this, SOAR will revise its human resource and governance policies, build and implement a marketing and communications plan, develop a financial and operational sustainability plan, and create a three-year strategic plan.

Through this 18-month systemic change project, PRUDE Inc. will scale the All Women project to advance women’s economic security and representation in leadership roles. It will scale to three rural areas in New Brunswick. It will address systemic barriers faced by newcomer women living in rural settings to share their experiences through various mechanisms including narrative storytelling and visual media. Once collected, these stories will help the organization, and its partners develop recommendations and an action plan to support systemic change within the three communities.

Through this 23-month project, the Ending Violence Association of Canada (EVA Canada) will create and pilot a workforce strategy to improve economic security for low-income women, senior women, and women with disabilities engaged in community-based anti-violence work. Project activities include building a sectoral profile of the workforce with a focus on economic barriers affecting low-income, senior, and disabled workers; leveraging the existing national Gender-Based Violence Worker Wellness Network and formalizing new relationships with other relevant experts; and utilizing an established framework (Roadmap to a Strong Community-Based Anti-Violence Workforce) to guide strategy development. A pan-Canadian communications campaign about the strategy will inform and engage community-based anti-violence leaders. This project aims to establish new sector standards, influence societal and policy changes, and create customized programs and resources to enhance economic security. Anticipated systemic changes include increased national awareness of the community-based anti-violence sector, improved economic empowerment and professional development, greater economic stability, and enhanced workforce retention.
