Status of Women Canada has launched a Call for Proposals for projects to address the economic security of women in Canada and contribute to advancement of gender quality.
With this call for proposals, organizations across the country will implement projects designed to address some of the root causes of economic insecurity for women in Canada (e.g. accessibility of childcare, wage gap, pay inequity).
Projects under this call will engage key stakeholders across various sectors to implement systemic solutions to improve the economic security of women. Recognizing that systemic issues often intersect, projects that address women’s economic security as it relates to other issues will also be considered (e.g. women’s economic insecurity is both a cause and an outcome of violence against women).
Themes
- Theme 1: Building Partnerships to Address Systemic Barriers
- Theme 2: Increasing Private Sector Leadership and Investments in Women
Funding Information
- Up to $350,000 (regional projects)
- Up to $500,000 (national projects)
Duration: Up to 36 months
Eligibility Criteria
- To be eligible, organizations must have experience working on gender equality issues within the areas of focus of the SWC Women’s Program — increasing women’s economic security and prosperity, encouraging women’s leadership and democratic participation and ending violence against women and girls.
- Private sector organizations are not eligible to apply for SWC funding under this call for proposals but are encouraged to participate by partnering with a non-profit organization.
- Proposed projects must reflect applicant’s organization’s areas of expertise in gender equality issues. Applicants will be assessed on organizational capacity, experience, expertise, and ability to work in partnership.
- Eligible recipients include legally constituted organizations that are:
- Not-for-profit Canadian organizations, excluding labour unions, post-secondary educational institutions and religious institutions;
- For-profit Canadian organizations, if the nature and intent of the funded activity is non-commercial and not intended to generate profit;
- Aboriginal governments (including band councils, tribal councils and self-government entities) and their agencies in rural and remote areas where there is a lack of capacity among not-for-profit and for-profit organizations; and
