Alberta Women Entrepreneurs Association (AWE)

Purpose

This 46-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the following activities: development of a sustainability plan, inclusive of human resources and retention strategies, as well as collaboration and networking. This organization will increase capacity to deliver innovative and relevant programming for women, particularly those in remote, rural and Indigenous communities. The additional funds will be used to enhance and strengthen partnerships and external relations, expand revenue and sources of capital and enhance program policy design, implementation and engagement with underrepresented groups including indigenous women.
