October 29, 2024 - Defence Stories

The Sexual Misconduct Support and Resource Centre (SMSRC) has launched its 2024-25 call for applications for the Community Support for Sexual Misconduct Survivors Grant Program.

The SMSRC’s Grant Program aims to enhance support services for the wider Defence community impacted by sexual misconduct and to foster stronger collaboration between community-based organizations and Department of National Defence (DND) and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) service providers. 

The “wider Defence community” includes current and former CAF members/Veterans, DND public service employees, Cadets, Junior Canadian Rangers, their families, supporters, and caregivers (age 16 and older). 

What grants are available?

• One-time project-based grants of up to $50,000
• Recurrent grants of up to $75,000 annually for two to three years

Who can apply?

Organizations that are based in Canada, legally constituted not-for-profit community-based service providers with the necessary legal status to enter into a grant agreement with the Government of Canada are eligible.

Help us spread the word

If you know service providers in your community who might benefit from this opportunity, encourage them to apply. The application deadline is November 26, 2024, at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
