THANK YOU FOR MAKING
CHANGE
Dear partners, donors, and friends,
As you read the stories, possibilities, and
opportunities highlighted in this report, take a
moment to reflect on the difference you make.
When you count yourself in, your impact goes
far beyond numbers.
When you count yourself in:
A mother experiencing abuse has access to
the safety and services she and her children
need to rebuild their lives.
A teenager learns about healthy relationships
and helps to break the cycle of abuse.
A newcomer gets the training and peer
support to launch her own business and gain
financial stability.
A girl builds the confidence to see her full
potential and strives for ambitious new goals.
When you count yourself in, you help us raise
our collective voice to close gender gaps in
policies, practices, and systems that touch
every part of our lives, from family to school
and work to neighbourhood and community.
You uphold the message that we absolutely can
and must achieve gender equality and justice.
Together, you form a community that makes
this mission possible. You empower this
Foundation to be as effective, relevant, and
responsive as it is today.
Donors and partners, staff, board members,
volunteers, and committees: you inspire me to
keep pushing for a gender-equal Canada.
Even through the many uncertainties we face,
you strengthen my faith that we can achieve
our goal together.
Thank you for your steadfast commitment. It
heartens me to my core. It fires me up to keep
going.
I hope learning more about the positive
impact you’ve had all over Canada through

Even through the many
uncertainties we face,

that we can achieve our
goal together.
