The Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa

Published purpose

Through this 30-month project, the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address the agency’s fundraising and communications capacity needs to better provide holistic support to vulnerable and marginalized women and gender-diverse people who are justice-impacted. The project will include, 1) establishing a funding diversification plan, policies, and practices; 2) developing resources to operationalize the funding diversification plan; and 3) training staff to effectively implement said plan. With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa will review and update its current organizational policies and procedures, and draft new ones as required. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.
