Summary
This 59-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the development of a sustainable and comprehensive fundraising strategy that will enable the organization to increase their sources of secure, predictable, unrestricted funding. This will allow the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic to meet the increase in demand for their services, cover administrative costs, and enable their continued leadership in antiviolence advocacy and legal reform initiatives, as Canada’s only gender-based violence legal clinic. Additional funds approved in 2020 will cover the costs of hiring a support position for the fundraising department. The 2023 supplemental funding will be used to train staff on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI), develop a Strategic Planning that integrates considerations of the post-COVID reality, hybrid workplace, and principles of EDI, and update organizational IT and communications policies to reflect a changing hybrid workplace reality.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 59 mois vise à répondre aux besoins en matière de capacité organisationnelle de la clinique Barbra Schlifer, lui permettant ainsi de continuer à promouvoir le changement social et systémique menant à l’égalité des sexes. La capacité organisationnelle de la clinique sera améliorée grâce à l’élaboration d’une stratégie de collecte de fonds durable et exhaustive qui permettra à l’organisme d’accroître ses sources de financement et de rendre celles-ci plus sûres, plus prévisibles, et sans restriction. Cela permettra à la clinique Barbra Schlifer de répondre à la demande accrue relative à ses services, d’assumer les coûts administratifs et de rester à l’avant-garde des initiatives de défense des droits et de réforme juridique ayant trait à la violence, à titre de seule clinique d’aide juridique vouée à la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) au Canada. Les fonds supplémentaires approuvés en 2020 couvriront les coûts d'embauche d'un poste de soutien pour le service de collecte de fonds. Le financement supplémentaire de 2023 servira à former le personnel sur l'équité, la diversité et l'inclusion (EDI), à élaborer une planification stratégique qui intègre des considérations sur la réalité post-COVID, le lieu de travail hybride et les principes de l'EDI, et à mettre à jour les politiques organisationnelles en matière d'informatique et de communication pour refléter la réalité changeante du lieu de travail hybride.
