Survivor Support Fund

The Defend Dignity Survivor Support Fund was created to provide accessible financial support to individuals who have experienced any form of commercial sexual exploitation in Canada, such as prostitution, sex trafficking, intimate images being shared online without consent, camming, escorting, massage parlours, strip clubs, survival sex, and/or involvement in pornography.

1. To ensure you qualify with our criteria, you must read through the Fund Policy before applying.
2. The application must be completed and submitted by a staff member from an agency or church within Canada. Please note: We have a new requirement where the Survivor must submit a signed and dated letter (1-2 sentences) that approves the application being submitted on their behalf. This letter replaces the previous Survivor Letter requirement and is uploaded via the application form which will be available October 1st.
3. Submit a completed application form.

No late or incomplete applications will be accepted.

Decisions regarding the awarding of funds will be made end of October and funds will be disbursed as quickly as possible afterwards. For all funded applications, a Follow-Up Questionnaire must be completed and returned to Defend Dignity by January 31^st, 2025.
