The Community Violence Prevention Program provides grants to support targeted, community-driven efforts, led by community partners within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, particularly those in rural areas, to combat violence against high-risk populations.

On December 15, 2023, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador (GNL) announced a $13.6 million four-year bilateral agreement with the Government of Canada as part of the GBV-NAP. The funding is supporting the Provincial Government’s work in addressing and preventing gender-based violence, while building capacity for violence prevention through knowledge tools, educational resources, and other prevention initiatives. GBV-NAP funds are being used to create programs and supports for survivors of gender-based violence in communities throughout the province, including individuals who may be underserved or who are the most at risk of experiencing gender-based violence, such as Indigenous women, girls, 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals, and women living in rural and remote communities.
