The Women's Future Fund is winding down operations.
For almost 10 years, the WFF aimed to expand Canadians'
support for women's equality, raising money primarily through
a unique workplace giving mechanism, and disbursing it to a
diverse range of national womenÕs organizations. We grew from
3 participating workplaces in 2000 to over 30 by 2006.
Until 2006, we were able to give out 100% of funds raised to
our members, for a total of over $200,000. Thanks to our many
supporters, we were able to significantly raise awareness of
the issue of gender inequality.
In the fall of 2006, the Women's Future Fund, along with many
of our member groups and other Canadian women's organizations,
lost our funding and became ineligible for further support from
Status of Women Canada. Since that time, WFF has significantly
scaled back operations while continuing to raise funds for our
members. Our search for sustainable funding has been unsuccessful,
and we are now at a point where we have to wind down.
The WFF will maintain an office until operations are wrapped up in
the spring of 2008; you can reach us with any questions at
416-516-5500 or wffinfo@web.ca
The need to support gender equality in Canada remains.
