Across the various issues and identities, women, girls, Two-Spirit people and gender-diverse people have faced historical and continual disadvantages and discrimination. For community foundations, how do we introduce and build a practice of feminist grantmaking in order to increase our impact and how we must consider the role that gender, privilege and power have in the context of the issues being addressed.
If your organization meets the eligibility criteria below, you are encouraged to apply for the Fund for Gender Equality, a collaboration between CFC and the Equality Fund with support from the Government of Canada.
Grants through the Fund for Gender Equality activated by Community Foundations of Canada and participating community foundations, can only be made to Qualified Donees (QD). Non-qualified donees (NQDs) may indirectly apply to a participating community foundation by securing a “fiscal sponsorship” from a QD.
Community Foundations of Canada and community foundations have launched the Fund for Gender Equality (the Fund). As Canadian communities work towards a just recovery and a future grounded in gender equality, the Fund will support ambitious, local projects that advance gender equality. The Fund will shift power into the hands of women, girls, Two-Spirit and gender-diverse individuals by supporting their leadership and engagement in community-level initiatives.

At CFC, we are focusing this year's three-part Vital Signs report series on gender equality in Canada. Each report deals with one of the three themes of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development namely Power, Peace and Planet. Vital Signs reflects the integration of the economic, social and environmental elements that are key to sustainable development, analyzed through the lens of gender equality.
