Funding
Ongoing financial support
The MSAC falls into the same category as a Centre d’aide et de lutte contre les agressions à caractère sexuel (community centres for victims of sexual assault, usually called “CALACS”) and receives annual base funding from the Programme de soutien aux organismes communautaires (PSOC) administered by the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS). The Ministère de la Justice du Québec provides funding for the Sexual Violence Helpline, while the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux directly funds the Support Service for designated centres providing medico-social services.
For one-off projects, the MSAC receives support from various government bodies, including the Secrétariat à la condition féminine and the federal Department of National Defence.
Special events and community donations
The MSAC receives donations from community members who are dedicated to supporting sexual violence victims and those close to them. Our various fundraising activities are presented in our annual activity reports.
