    Government has announced a call for proposals for the 2025 Community Violence Prevention Grants Program. This funding is through a $13.6 million, four-year bilateral agreement with Women and Gender Equality Canada under the National Action Plan to End Gender-based Violence. Projects must be related to community-based violence prevention, to a maximum request of $50,000. Last year, more than $520,000 in funding was awarded for 14 projects. Applications must be submitted to the office of Women and Gender Equality on or before June 27th.
