Women’s Y Foundation
Since its inception in 1995, the Women’s Y Foundation has supported the fulfilment of the YWCA Montreal’s mission to build a better future for women and girls.
The Women’s Y Foundation, through its action and influence, remains a key ally in ensuring the financial support and visibility of the YWCA Montreal. It is a dynamic and innovative institution that has helped position the YWCA Montreal as the benchmark for personal, social and professional development of women and girls, helping them contribute to society to the best of their abilities.
Taking action where it counts
To reduce exclusion and social and gender inequality, as well as all forms of violence against women and girls, we must reach beyond our daily and Individual actions for women and girls. That is why we have organized, collaborated, and participated in many events and campaigns to promote mobilization, engagement, and awareness around women’s issues.
Finances & Governance
