The Girls’ Fund

We empower girls with confidence, courage and critical thinking skills
The Canadian Women's Foundation wants all girls to see the confidence, courage and potential in themselves, and to realize that they matter. We support programs for girls (aged nine to 13) that build self-esteem, critical thinking and leadership skills. The programs we fund use a variety of approaches to help girls thrive in these areas, including engaging them in sports and physical activity, science and technology, media literacy, community action and leadership development.
