Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the mothers and caregivers who support, nurture, and show up for us.
Your gift today can change lives. You’ll help mothers, caregivers, and others facing abuse, poverty, and limited opportunity—wherever support is needed most.
Mothers and caregivers in Canada carry a heavy load:
-Most unpaid care for children and older family members is done by women.
-Paid care jobs are held primarily by women—especially racialized and immigrant women—who often earn low wages.
-Single mothers are more likely to live in poverty.
-Many mothers face a “motherhood penalty” which can limit pay and career growth.
-Nearly 30% of women-led households don’t have access to adequate or affordable housing
The Canadian Women's Foundation invests in community-led programs in every province and territory that open the door to safety, support, and opportunity.
Your donation today funds:
-Safe shelter, counselling, and support for survivors of abuse and their children.
-Job and skills training to break cycles of poverty.
-Programs that build confidence, healthy relationships, and leadership skills.
-And other crucial services that help people find safety, hope, and opportunities to thrive.
