Through this 31-month project, True North Society will build its capacity to advance gender equality by addressing the increasingly acute and complex needs related to family violence. True North is uniquely positioned to grow their services to create a continuum of care that will address unmet needs along a spectrum and optimize their capacity to effectively prevent and address family violence. This project will involve conducting a needs assessment, engaging in operational, resource development and communications strategic planning, as well as enhancing organizational capacity in the areas of board governance, human resources and partnership and program development. By the project’s conclusion, the organization will have significantly improved its ability to provide comprehensive, sustainable, and scalable support to women and children experiencing family violence in the Rockyview, Wheatland, Kneehill, and Vulcan Counties, ensuring a more effective and coordinated response to these critical issues. With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, True North Society will strengthen board governance and strategic leadership through increasing supports to Board Governance, the development and implementation of a strategic plan (2027-2030) and increase organizational capacity through regional and provincial partnership collaboration as well as measuring project impact. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.
