Funding Programs

Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program

CPNP LogoThe Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP) is a comprehensive funding program designed to help community groups provide support for pregnant women.  Priority participants vary in each community but most often include pregnant adolescents, women with low incomes, and those who are socially or geographically isolated.  Groups provide the following services:

  • Referral
  • Education
  • Social support
  • Food supplementation
  • Nutrition and lifestyle counselling.

Atlantic Canada has 25 CPNP projects.  While many are affiliated with Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) sites and sponsored by the same organization, other CPNP projects operate independently.
