Fund Type

This funding is for projects that focus on the prevention of violence against Aboriginal women.

This year, the fund will accept applications for one-year projects only. This will allow the Yukon government to then conduct a review of the fund. This review will include considering how the fund aligns with the recently announced National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence (NAP GBV), the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People National Action Plan, as well as Yukon’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit+ People Strategy. 

The Prevention of Violence Against Aboriginal Women fund provides assistance to community-based violence prevention projects that are designed and developed by and for Indigenous women. Since its launch in 2004, the fund has provided more than $2 million to nearly 100 community projects.
