Financial Assistance to Host Events During National Victims of Crime Awareness Week 2010
Funding applications for NVCAW 2010 are no longer being accepted, as the November 1st deadline has passed.
The Government of Canada provides funding for organizations to host National Victims of Crime Awareness Week (NVCAW) events. This year, NVCAW occurs from April 18 - 24, 2010. The theme that has been chosen for NVCAW 2010 is: Every Victim Matters.
Through the Department of Justice Canada Victims Fund, limited financial assistance, up to $10,000, will be available for projects that support the goals of NVCAW. The key goal of NVCAW is to raise awareness about the issues facing victims of crime and about the services, assistance and laws in place to help victims and their families. The Week also acknowledges the work of victim service providers and their dedication in assisting victims of crime and their families. These resources will be provided through the Programs Branch and the Policy Centre for Victim Issues who jointly administer the Victims Fund.
Due to the growing number of applications, the deadline for submitting funding applications has been advanced this year. The new deadline to submit your funding application is November 1, 2009. We regret any inconvenience this change may cause. Applications will only be accepted up to this date. As the amount of funding that is available each year is limited, not all eligible applications can be approved. Geographical distribution will be considered in the selection process. Collaborative projects and community partnerships are encouraged.
