Public Safety Canada is pleased to announced the launch of the application process for funding under the National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS). Eligible organizations will be able to apply for funding from November 1st to December 20th, 2024.
This investment will support community-led direct interventions tailored to at-risk and vulnerable youth, particularly Indigenous and racialized youth, youth at-risk of committing violence, and youth with repeat contacts with the criminal justice system.
Specifically, funding will be focused on initiatives aimed at reducing the harmful factors that lead youth to get involved in violent criminal activity, such as gun violence and auto theft. In addition, an estimated 3% of total funding will be designated for initiatives focused preventing bullying and cyber bullying. Further, an estimated 2% will focus on strengthening community readiness for Indigenous populations.
Organizations that apply for funding will follow a streamlined submission process for three funding programs under the NCPS: the Crime Prevention Action Fund (CPAF), the Northern and Indigenous Crime Prevention Fund (NICPF), and the Youth Gang Prevention Fund (YGPF). Applicants will only need to apply once under the NCPS Call for Applications. The results of the assessment process will determine which of the three funding programs (CPAF, NICPF, or YGPF) they may be eligible for.
