Applicants and funding

The Department will fund two types of projects:

Stream 1: Projects submitted by Incorporated or registered Indigenous not-for-profit organizations with experience working on GBV issues for Indigenous women, girls or 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.

For these projects, the maximum amounts (total per project) are:

There are often extra costs of living and travelling in northern or remote areas. So, you may apply for an extra 25% for activities in these areas (see question Activity location type for definitions).

For this call for proposals, an Indigenous organization is one that represents First Nations, Inuit, and/or Métis Peoples and is controlled by members of the population it serves.

A not-for-profit organization is a society, or association organized and operated solely for social welfare, civic improvement or recreation, or any other purpose except profit.

Stream 2: Projects submitted by informal Indigenous groups with a GBV prevention mandate or experience in addressing GBV issues for Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQQIA+ people that are not yet incorporated or registered.

This is an opportunity for these informal groups to apply for up to $25,000 in total. The condition for this funding is that they become incorporated or registered. After, organizations will be able to carry out other activities to increase their capacity, within the limit of $25,000. This funding stream is not eligible for the extra 25% for northern or remote areas.

Organizations can only apply once for this call for proposals.

Duration

Projects should aim to start no earlier than summer 2022 and must end by March 31, 2026.

Eligible activities

We all have many identity factors that intersect to make us who we are. It also considers many other identity factors like ethnicity and age.

The activities must align with the call for proposals’ objective. You can include activities grounded in Indigenous culture linked to the project objectives.
