Coalition of Muslim Women of KW

Published purpose

This 58-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the Coalition of Muslim Women of Kitchener-Waterloo (CMW) to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the strengthening of board governance policies and procedures, the development of a sustainable financial model, partnership development, networking, and collaboration, the establishment of a strategic plan, and the creation of an improved advocacy strategy. The organization received supplemental funding during the Covid-19 pandemic to hire external specialists to perform a community needs assessment, assist with the development of a long-term financial plan and technical support to roll out a full technology plan for staff. The supplemental funding received during 2023 will permit the organization to adapt and evaluate their human resources management policies and results-based management tools according to a gender-based analysis and cultural inclusivity lens.
