Nova Scotia: Sexual Violence Prevention Innovation Grants Applications Sought

The province of Nova Scotia is inviting people with creative ideas on how to prevent sexual violence to apply for grants through the Sexual Violence Strategy. The grants are divided into streams of up to $5,000 for smaller projects and up to $50,000 for larger ones. They are a commitment under government’s Sexual Violence Strategy. This second round has $600,000 available for a total investment of more than $1.2 million. The grants support community groups and organizations, including youth and underserved communities such as African Nova Scotians, First Nations, and the LGBTIQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer) community, to reach out to their peers and help put creative prevention initiatives into practice. Application forms are available for download at http://novascotia.ca/stopsexualviolence. Any questions about the application process can be emailed to strategy@novascotia.ca. The deadline to submit grant applications is Dec. 16, 2016, at 4 p.m.
