The objective of this program is to provide one-year project funding to address unmet needs and gaps in services, awareness and/or knowledge within a framework of preventing or reducing gambling-related harm among individuals, families and communities in Nova Scotia.
Funding will be provided to projects that align with one or more of the following identified priorities:
- Improve community networks and monitor, manage and improve local community environments to address disparities in the social determinants of health and decrease gambling harm
- Develop and deliver broad-based and/or culturally sensitive community programs that address one or more social determinants of health for adults living “at risk” to prevent gambling harm
- Develop and deliver broad-based and/or culturally sensitive community programs to prevent stigma and shame among those experiencing gambling harms
- Develop and deliver broad-based and/or culturally sensitive community programs that address the relationship between gambling-related harms and mental health and addictions
Funds may be used to further develop services, enhance past/existing efforts or explore the feasibility of establishing new ones where gaps exist. Projects that duplicate past or existing efforts in Nova Scotia to prevent/reduce gambling-related harm will not be considered.

In 1998, Gambling Awareness Nova Scotia (GANS-formerly the Nova Scotia Gaming Foundation) was formed as a not-for-profit, arms-length government organization for the purpose of receiving and distributing funds that would support communities to reduce the harmful effects of gambling. These funds are generated from a percentage of VLT revenues, matched by the Nova Scotia Provincial Lotteries and Casino Corporation (NSPLCC).
