The Canadian Women's Foundation is Canada’s only national public foundation designed to raise and grant funds to meet the needs of women and girls. We support women’s organizations across Canada that are using the most effective approaches to ending violence against women, moving low-income women out of poverty and building strong, resilient girls. We give particular priority to funding work with women and girls who face multiple challenges.

The Foundation awards both one-year and multi-year grants. The maximum one-year grant size is between $20,000 and $25,000, depending on the grant area. Larger, multi-year grants are made to some economic development, teen violence prevention and girls' programs.
