The Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) has launched the Communities for Gender Equality Fund to support ambitious, local projects that advance gender equality.
The Fund for Gender Equality is part of the broader Equality Fund. As communities work towards a just recovery during the global pandemic 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.

Eligibility Criteria

- The Fund seeks to support local initiatives in more than 20 communities across Canada. Deployed by local community foundations, the Fund builds on their efforts to shift power to women, girls, Two-Spirit people and people of diverse gender identities, and works towards a future based on justice and equality.
