The Girls’ Fund
The Canadian Women’s Foundation’s goal for girls in Canada is to instill them with the strength and confidence they need to reach their potential as adolescents and adults. We support development of the most effective models in girl-focused programming, a national network of organizations working with girls, and the advancement of a girls agenda.
Our work includes:
- Funding programs, for girls aged 9 to 13, that focus on developing leadership, critical-thinking and decision-making skills by engaging girls in science and math, sports and physical activity and/or leadership and empowerment
- Bringing together girl-serving organizations to share knowledge and establish best practices
- Conducting research on the most effective ways to help girls reach their potential
