As a founding partner, CFC joined a diversity of others including women’s funds, community foundations, Royal Bank of Canada, a gender-lens investing firm, venture capital, a network of the largest global foundations, and others, in an effort to scale global impact by working together. In June of 2019, the Government of Canada announced its own contribution to the Equality Fund, which will further help in creating a sustainable and predictable source of funding for women’s organizations and movements advancing gender equality and the empowerment of all genders, including women, non-binary people and trans people.
This document sets out common principles for a feminist approach to funding. It was created in partnership with Canadian Women’s Foundation and the Equality Fund (formerly The MATCH International Women’s Fund). This evergreen document outlines our early thinking around how we will strive to live out our values.
What is intersectionality? How does it apply to me and our work at the community foundation? In this interactive webinar we explore the foundational concepts behind intersectionality and how power shows up in our everyday lives and work.

Community Foundations can play a role, now more than ever, in closing the gender gap. Come engage with experts to learn about feminist grant making and the power of its impacts.
