Province invests in community initiatives against family violence
The Prevention of Family Violence and Bullying Community Incentive Fund has been developed to help communities take action on family violence and bullying. The fund supports local activities on the key action areas identified in the Alberta Roundtable on Family Violence and Bullying report, entitled Finding Solutions Together.
The purpose of the $2-million Community Incentive Fund program is to support communities as they move forward in their commitment to a collaborative, co-ordinated response to family violence and bullying.
There are two types of grant funding available: up to $10,000 and up to $75,000. Funds will be approved based on demographics and need in each Child and Family Services Authority regional boundary and in First Nation communities.
The deadline for submitting a letter of intent is Jan. 14, 2005 and a full project proposal must be submitted by March 20, 2005.
More information and the application forms for the Community Incentive Fund are available through the Children#s Services website. If you have questions about the application, please contact the Office for the Prevention of Family Violence and Bullying at (780) 422-8519 (toll-free 310-0000).
