Apply for Funding

Application/Proposal Form

To submit a request for funding, we suggest that you complete the Application/Proposal Form: HTML / PDF Format (95.7 kb, PDF Help) / Word Format (138 kb). Please note that prior to submitting a funding application under the Youth Justice Fund, you should consult the information found at: http://canada.justice.gc.ca/eng/pi/yj-jj/fund-fond/fund-fond.html and contact the Youth Justice Policy Centre.

This form, once completed, contains all the necessary information to allow us to fully assess the merits of the proposal.

We suggest that you refer to the guide entitled "How to Apply for Funding - A Guide to Preparing a Proposal" before completing your application. The guide provides detailed information on all the items that you are required to address in the application form.

We also suggest that you refer to a document entitled "Contribution Funds for Non-Governmental Organizations, a Handbook" before initiating a project approved by the Department. This handbook explains financial requirements, accounting and audit processes and procedures that ensure compliance with the financial terms and conditions of the contribution agreements and help non-governmental organizations better prepare when an audit of their projects happen.

Official Languages

In support of Section 41 of the Official Languages Act the Department is committed to facilitate the participation of official language minority communities and their organizations in the development and assessment of the Department's policies, programs and services having significant impact on the development of the communities; and to take measures to ensure that the Department of Justice's programs and services reach official language minority communities. In the context of project funding, these measures include:

• Outreach to official language minority communities to enhance their understanding of the Department of Justice funding programs
• Encouraging contacts between organizations that are receiving financial assistance and official language minority organizations/groups to ensure that the needs of these communities are taken into consideration in relation to the proposed projects to be considered for Department of Justice Canada funding.
