Funding available for campus safety projects

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

In accordance with the parameters set by the ministry, submissions are required 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., WalkSafe programs, sexual assault prevention initiatives, volunteer training, resource materials)
  • Facilities and equipment (e.g., lighting, mirrors, security cameras, emergency phones)
