Financial Literacy Pilot Project

Agreement Number:

GV230320

Agreement Value:

$535,132.00

Agreement Date:

Nov 16, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

Through this 28-month project, Interval House will develop and put in place a Financial Literacy Pilot Program to strengthen the GBV sector. It will address the need to provide financial literacy knowledge to at-risk, vulnerable, and economically challenged women survivors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). To do so, the project will include consulting with an Advisory Committee and low-income women who have experienced IPV to design the curriculum of the program and delivering the Financial Literacy Pilot Program. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice and provide recommendations for future programming. Interval House will develop and implement a Community Engagement Plan to share information on the promising practice and the findings of the Final Report with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

Organization:

Women and Gender Equality Canada

Program Purpose:

The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
