Executive Assistant and Board Liaison – Canadian Women’s Foundation

The Canadian Women’s Foundation (the Foundation) is Canada’s public foundation for gender justice and equality. It advances this by growing support for grassroots feminist action, partnering with communities and organizations to improve conditions, and building diverse leadership and knowledge for sustainable change. Through fundraising, granting, research, advocacy, and knowledge sharing, the Foundation works to achieve feminist systemic change. By granting to and strengthening local community programs across Canada, the Foundation empowers women, girls and gender-diverse people to move out of violence, out of poverty, and into confidence and leadership. Launched in 1991 by a group of eight trail-blazing women, the Foundation addresses a critical need for philanthropy focused on women and is one of the largest women’s fundraising foundations in the world. With the assistance of supporters and donors, the Foundation has raised more than $270 million to fund over 3,400 life-transforming programs across the country. As a leading voice for women, girls and gender-diverse people in Canada, Canadian Women’s Foundation is committed to getting gender equality issues front and centre in the hearts and minds of people in Canada.

It is within this context that the Canadian Women’s Foundation welcomes applications and nominations for the appointment of its Executive Assistant and Board Liaison.
