Indigenous Service Canada is currently accepting proposals for the 2022-2023 Family Violence Prevention Program.
This program provides operational funding to Indigenous-led shelters and transition homes that address family violence, and funds Indigenous-led, culturally-appropriate and community-driven family violence prevention activities across Canada for Indigenous women, children, families and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
The current Family Violence Prevention call for proposals is for family violence prevention activities that focus on Inuit, Métis, as well as Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+, and urban populations.
**Proposals for family violence prevention activities aimed towards First Nations on reserve should be sent to the Manitoba Regional ISC office.**
The focus of activities must be on family violence prevention. Proposals can range from short term activities with a smaller budget (such as $50,000 for 1 year) to multi-year projects in the average upper range of $100,000 per year.
