Individuals or organizations interested in funding for projects to promote safety for women on campus have until Monday, October 31, to apply.

The Women’s Campus Safety Grant Committee invites creative, innovative proposals to support one of the following broad categories or objectives:

• Awareness or education (e.g., workshops, websites, awareness campaigns)
• Student services and supports (e.g., Campus-Walk safe programs, sexual assault prevention initiatives, volunteer training, resource materials)
• Facilities and equipment (e.g., lighting, mirrors, security cameras, emergency phones)

The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities increased the University of Windsor’s annual allocation from $35,000 to $64,000 this year to further support efforts in addressing sexual violence.

Funded projects must be completed and invoices paid by March 15, 2017.

Applications for funding requests are available from the Office of Human Rights, Equity and Accessibility at www.uwindsor.ca/ohrea/ohreaforms, www.uwindsor.ca/ohrea/womenssafety, e-mail ohrea@uwindsor.ca, or call 519-253-3000, ext. 2056.
