4 1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Ministry of the Status of Women (the Ministry or MSW ) is committed to increasing women s economic security and to ending violence against women. The Women s Economic Security Program (WESP) was established for the purpose of increasing incomes and labour force attachment of low-income women in Ontario. MSW is seeking to achieve this by providing grants to eligible organizations that will provide employment, preapprenticeship and entrepreneurship training specifically for low-income women so that they are equipped with the skills, knowledge and experience to secure employment and increase their income and economic security. The WESP aims to strengthen organisations capacity to deliver on their mandates in innovative ways that encourage partnerships between women-centered community based organisations, educational institutions and businesses. The WESP also supports the Domestic Violence Action Plan (2004) that was implemented to raise awareness of domestic violence, strengthen supports for survivors and improve the justice system response. Other cross government strategies the WESP supports are the It s Never Okay: An Action Plan to Stop Sexual Violence and Harassment, Walking Together: Ontario s Long-Term Strategy to End Violence Against Indigenous Women, and Ontario s Strategy to End Human Trafficking. Applicants can use this guide to determine if they are eligible to apply for the WESP and how to apply for project funding. Applicants can apply for funding from $100,000 to a maximum of $400,000 per year over a three year period (2018/ /21). WESP may fund up to 100% of a project s budget. Up to 30% of project funding can be used towards administrative expenses. Five percent of the project s funding can be dedicated to providing wraparound or supplementary services to program participants such as Violence Against Women (VAW) counselling, food, transportation and child-minding support. 1.2 Grants Ontario and Using the System All applicants are required to complete and submit their application through the Grants Ontario system ( Applications in other formats will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances.
