Canadian Research Institute For The Advancement Of Women (CRIAW)

Published purpose

This 44-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the following activities: development and implementation of a strategic plan including financial sustainability, strengthened communications, and increased membership and the enhancement of fundraising capacity through the development and implementation of a membership outreach and fundraising strategy. This project will build organizational capacity through the development and implementation of an effective, sustainable, and long-term strategic plan in order to strengthen its ability to promote and advocate for women’s rights through evidence-based feminist research across Canada. The supplemental funding will be used to strengthen two priority areas from the strategic plan: raising our visibility and working collaboratively. This will foster the relationship building needed for the Building Capacity Project and the Building Capacity for Intersectional Advocacy on Women’s Issues.
