Community Foundations of Canada

Purpose

This 71-month project is based on the principle of mobilizing new funds and partnerships to support and engage Canada’s community foundations in an effort to accelerate gender equality at the local level. This project will advance gender equality in Canada in two main ways: by providing contribution funding to community foundations to fund projects in their communities, and by weaving gender equality best practices within community foundations. The project includes a matched investment of $10,000,000. Supplemental funding for the project will enable an expanded reach of the project to distribute additional funding to eligible organizations and to further support project activities.
