Pan-Canadian Projects Funding
Funding for larger pan-Canadian grant or contribution projects can provide support for networking, developing and delivering education and awareness activities, and creating tools and resources to help seniors protect themselves from elder abuse including fraud and financial abuse. The funding can also enable community members to better recognize elder abuse in all its forms and to improve the quality of life, safety and security of seniors.
Pan-Canadian projects identify and share promising practices across the country on what has worked well to address seniors’ issues and can be replicated.
Eligible pan-Canadian projects must have broad reach and impact, and can be funded for up to three years.
Projects:
- may address a provincial/territorial or regional need or address needs shared by communities across Canada;
- recognize and address challenges faced by different communities in different regions;
- produce products that can be used, adapted and or replicated across Canada; and
- involve participation from partners/stakeholders from different regions across Canada/or from within the project region.
The following are some examples of pan-Canadian projects:
- identifying/creating and sharing promising practices that increase awareness of elder abuse;
- establishing a provincial elder abuse prevention network; and
- developing and disseminating elder abuse prevention, detection and intervention tools for use by seniors, families and service providers across Canada.
