We have two opportunities. One is through the continuous intake program and one is through our call for proposals.
The call for proposals has specific deadlines and themes. But the continuous intake allows any Canadian to apply 365 days of the year to Status of Women Canada at www.women.gc.ca, in any one of our three core areas. Whether that be violence against women and girls, whether that be economic security and prosperity, or whether that be women taking on leadership roles, these are the three areas we cover.
I've been trying to encourage many not-for-profit organizations and individuals across the country to apply. It's a great program. Our public servant staff do a fabulous job of working with organizations to make sure they can meet the criteria and implement an excellent program. Our programs are not just for a single year. They're 24, sometimes up to 36 months. It's not just one-stop shopping, quick funding, and out. Unlike other departments, we have longer programs. Organizations can become sustainable and can grow the opportunity they've been provided.
