The Women’s Campus Safety Grant Committee is accepting applications for funding for projects to promote safety for women on campus. The committee invites creative, innovative proposals from members of the university community, including faculty and staff individuals or groups and student organizations.

The Women’s Campus Safety Grant Committee is a presidential standing committee established to address women’s safety issues on campus, and to establish, promote, and improve facilities, programs, and services at the University of Windsor. Funding is provided by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU), which has increased the allocation in order to further support efforts in addressing sexual violence and making campuses safer for women.

In accordance with the parameters set by the ministry, submissions are required to support one of the following broad categories or objectives:

• Awareness and 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)

Applications for funding requests are accepted on an ongoing basis from the Office of Human Rights, Equity, and Accessibility at: www.uwindsor.ca/ohrea/womenssafety or by email to ohrea@uwindsor.ca.

The deadline for the next round of submissions is May 31, 2019. Funded projects must be completed and invoices paid by March 15, 2020.
