Women's Program

The objective of the Women's Program is to support action to advance equality between women and men in the economic, social and democratic life of Canada. Funding is provided to eligible organizations in support of projects at the local, regional and national levels that address the following three priority areas:

  • ending violence against women and girls;
  • increasing women's and girls' economic security and prosperity; and
  • encouraging women and girls in leadership and decision-making roles

Funding is available for time-specific projects of 36 months or less that address barriers to women's participation and equality in Canadian society. Eligible organizations and activities are determined by the Women's Program's funding criteria. Funding is not provided for ongoing activities, such as an organization's operations and administration.

How do I apply?

The Women's Program issues targeted calls for proposals on specific themes, each with a number of predetermined elements, and application deadlines.
Calls for Proposals

Status of Women Canada also accepts applications to the Women's Program on an ongoing basis. To ensure your proposed project fulfills the requirements of the Women's Program's eligibility criteria, please contact a Status of Women Canada office to discuss the application with a project officer.
