Our Work

  • Violence Prevention Fund
    The Canadian Women’s Foundation funds groundbreaking initiatives that help women and their children rebuild their lives after abuse, that teach teens about healthy relationships, and that counsel children who have witnessed violence, to help them heal and prevent them from becoming victims or abusers themselves.

  • Economic Development Fund
    The Canadian Women's Foundation moves women out of poverty across Canada by supporting life-changing programs that get them on their feet both financially (through skill-based training), and personally (by supporting them in other aspects of their lives like building confidence, networking and securing child care).

  • The Girls' Fund
    The Canadian Women's Foundation supports programs for girls (aged nine to 13) that build self-esteem, critical thinking and leadership skills.

  • Success stories
    Read stories of women and girls whose lives have been changed by programs funded by the Canadian Women's Foundation.
