Domestic Violence Association of New Brunswick, Inc.

Published purpose

Through this 32-month project, the Domestic Violence Association of New Brunswick Inc. will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address its internal capacity for operating as a professional nonprofit woman’s organization with a significant impact on addressing the issue of domestic intimate partner violence (DIPV) and supporting frontline services and survivors in New Brunswick, and build its capacity to oversee, govern, and make decisions under a new operational structure. The project will include building a sustainable financial management strategy, strategic planning, and enhancing HR capacities, policies, and procedures. It will also build capacity around providing access to the learning and development opportunities that staff and board members require to meaningfully contribute to the organization, and to ensure alignment with the organization’s vision, mission, and values, best serve the target population, while applying a Gender-Based Analysis Plus lens. With the supplemental funds and the extension provided in early 2026, the Domestic Violence Association of New Brunswick will develop a social enterprise model, an education and training strategy, share data collection and knowledge dissemination pathways for the DIPV sector in New Brunswick, and advance organizational readiness to support systemic change. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.
