When you make a gift to the Canadian Women’s Foundation from now until December 31st, GreenShield will double your impact by making a gift of equal size (up to a total of $10,000) to help women and gender-diverse people rebuild their lives after experiencing violence.
Gender-based violence is rising, economic instability is pushing more families into poverty, and barriers to safety and opportunity persist. Every 48 hours, a woman or girl is killed by violence in Canada.
The need is urgent—but change is possible.
Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we’ve impacted over 1.1 million lives through 776 programs funded nationwide, helping survivors find safety, empowering newcomers to launch businesses, and funding vital resources in underserved communities.
Your support fuels transformative change in four key areas:
Out of Violence: Providing emergency shelters, housing support, assistance for rebuilding after abuse, crisis support for sexual assault and exploitation, child witness to violence programs, and healthy relationship education for teens.
Out of Poverty: Offering childcare and transportation support, access to well-paying fields like technology and construction, entrepreneurship training, and work experience to boost confidence and job readiness.
Into Confidence: Delivering programs in STEM, sports, media literacy, Indigenous culture, and mentorship to empower girls and non-binary youth in safe and supportive spaces.
Into Leadership: Elevating diverse voices through community-driven programs, research and systemic change efforts, and professional training for service providers.
Take action today!
With GreenShield’s matching gift, every dollar goes twice as far to build a Canada where everyone has the power, safety, and support to thrive.
An electronic tax receipt will be sent to you for gifts of $20 or more. Every dollar counts—thank you for your generosity.
