Program objectives

The SMSRC Grant Program was established to:

Who can access funded services

Anyone 16 years and older who has been directly or indirectly affected by sexual misconduct and self-identifies as connected to the wider Defence community can access the services funded by the Grant Program free of charge. This includes:

It is not necessary to prove that you are connected to the Defence community.

The SMSRC has assessed grant recipients with the safety and needs of the community in mind, however we cannot guarantee results. We encourage you to contact these services to find out more about what they offer, and to consult with your health care provider(s) or support person(s), to determine if they are a good match for you.

Specialized projects and services

Most funded projects are unique. Some are undertaken by organizations that offer specialized services, for example, for women, men, Indigenous peoples and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals.

Visit Funded projects to find brief descriptions of the projects and the funded organizations with links to their websites where you can find information on all their services, where they are, and how to contact them.

Confidentiality and privacy

SMSRC Grant Program funded organizations do not communicate personal information or disclosures of sexual misconduct to the SMSRC, the DND or the CAF. As independent, community-based organizations, they do not have the CAF Duty to Report. Nevertheless, when you contact a service, you may want to discuss confidentiality and disclosure of sexual misconduct before you identify yourself.
