Today, the Centre is funded in part by the University of Western Ontario and in part by the acquisition of research funding. As well, the Centre receives generous in-kind donations through volunteer contributions to research committees from members agencies of the London Coordinating Committee to End Woman Abuse and from staff and faculty at Fanshawe College. In addition, Scotiabank has generously provided a 10-year gift that is directed to scholarships , community grants and to the funding of the Scotiabank Professor , Melanie Randall. See the Publications Page for more information about past projects. The research committees generate ideas for research and develop proposals based upon community need and interest.
Several projects are now under development.
Researchers are hired for each project as required. A committee with representatives of the Centre's three partners serves as a steering body to monitor and administer the progress of each project. In addition, we are grateful for the contribution of the many volunteers who assist with various aspects of the administration of the Centre and with specific research projects. Funding for specific project is sought and acquired from both public and private sources such as the Status of Women, the National Crime Prevention Centre and the Government of Ontario.
