CWF is pleased to announce that we have awarded 57 violence prevention grants to a variety of interesting, grassroots initiatives across Canada (including second-year funding for four groundbreaking teen violence prevention programs).

These grants, which total $1,144,290, are possible thanks to the success of Shelter from the Storm, our valued individual donors, and the following corporate partners and funds:

• BMO Financial Group
• The Body Shop STOP Violence in the Home Fund
• Hbc Foundation Fund
• Rogers Media
• The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation Fund
• Scotiabank Fund
• The Social Justice Fund at Tides Canada Foundation (for B.C. grants)
• Winners and HomeSense
• The Aimee Quitevis Memorial Fund
• and The Tony McNaughton Memorial Fund

CWF gives priority to women and girls who face multiple challenges. Therefore, many of the initiatives involve rural, northern, Aboriginal, immigrant and refugee women/girls, Black women and women of colour, women with disabilities and Deaf women, older women, and street involved women/girls.
