SACE is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a $10,000 grant by the Edmonton Civic Employees Charitable Assistance Fund (ECECAF).
The grant will enable SACE to print vital education and awareness resources about our programs and services, which will be distributed to schools, community groups, and other local organizations.
Established to support initiatives that strengthen and enrich local communities, ECECAF has a long history of charitable giving in the Edmonton region.
With the support of this grant, SACE will be able to:
- Produce printed materials (brochures, posters, information cards) that outline our services and how to access them.
- Ensure these resources are available in schools, community centres, and outreach settings across the Edmonton area.
- Increase awareness among the public and particularly youth, educators, and community leaders about the importance of consent, support after sexual assault, and available help.
- Strengthen collaboration with community groups by equipping them with tangible tools to share information seamlessly.
“It might seem like a small thing, but we get many requests for hard copy materials, and it adds up,” says Lena Betker, Director of Community Engagement at SACE. “By covering some of the cost to replenish our inventory, ECECAF will make a real difference in how we communicate with and support our community — especially those who may not yet know about our services.”
The Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton remains committed to providing trauma-informed, accessible services and to raising awareness about sexual violence, prevention, and healing. This grant helps ensure our message reaches further and our resources are more widely available.
