Canadian Women's Chamber of Commerce

Published purpose

This 48-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Activities will focus particularly on building capacity and strategic planning for national expansion and enhanced national advocacy, including through research and partnership building with businesswomen, service providers, and other stakeholders invested in advancing women’s economic prosperity through entrepreneurship. Operational policies and procedures, along with marketing, communications and training resources will be created and tested through the pilot expansion of chapters, while sustainable funding will be built through strategic partnerships and the implementation of other fundraising approaches.
