NICKEL BELT – GREATER SUDBURY – Monday, October 24^th, 2022 – Improving access to support services across Canada for those who have been affected by sexual misconduct within the Defence community is a top priority for the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

Today, MP Serré shared that the Sexual Misconduct Response Centre (SMRC) launched a Call for Applications for its new Community Support for Sexual Misconduct Survivors Grant Program. The program will fund projects led by not-for-profit Canadian, community-based organizations with the capacity and expertise to support people affected by sexual misconduct in the wider Defence community and implement initiatives.

Two types of grants will be offered through the Program:

• one-time funding of up to $50,000 per eligible project
• recurrent funding of up to $75,000 annually, for a maximum of three years

Eligible organizations are invited to apply to the Grant Program from October 18 until November 15, 2022
