Through this 30-month project, North Point Douglas Women’s Centre (NPDWC) will build its capacity to advance gender equality by addressing the organization’s policies, procedures and practices. The project will include evaluating, developing and revising policies and bylaws to align with 2SLGBTQIA+ applicable legislation and acts on Indigenous women and Service users. The organization will establish a clear direction and outline attainable and measurable goals to collaborate with their staff and review resources to address safe space and accessibility in their community along with improving the understanding of the organization’s mission, vision, guiding values and principles and staff roles. Through community consultations, review and development of a 5-year strategic plan and updated financial policies and procedures NPDWC will obtain the tools and knowledge to help build their organizational credibility and financial capacity. With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the North Point Douglas Women’s Centre Inc. will strengthen its financial management and governance systems, improve operational systems and infrastructure, and strengthen organizational leadership and staff capacity development. Through this work, the organization will enhance its sustainability, accountability, and internal leadership capacity, further advancing gender equality.
