About the Canadian Women's Foundation

The Canadian Women's Foundation is a national organization dedicated to advancing gender justice and equality. We work to achieve this by growing support for grassroots feminist action, partnering with communities and organizations to improve conditions, and building diverse leadership and knowledge for sustainable change.

Through fundraising, granting, research, advocacy, and knowledge sharing, the Foundation works to achieve feminist systemic change. By granting to and strengthening local community programs, the Foundation empowers women, girls, and gender-diverse people to move out of violence, out of poverty, and into confidence and leadership.

Launched in 1991 to address a critical need for philanthropy focused on women, the Canadian Women's Foundation is one of the largest women's fundraising foundations in the world.

With the support of supporters and donors, the Foundation has raised more than $250 million to fund over 3,200 life-transforming programs across the country.

As a leading voice for women, girls, and gender-diverse people in Canada, we are committed to getting gender equality issues front and centre in the hearts and minds of people in Canada.

Our vision is to create a world where every woman, girl, and gender-diverse person has the power, safety, support, and rights to thrive, today and tomorrow.
