Grants and Contributions

Through this 31-month project, Elizabeth Fry New Brunswick (EFNB) will help advance women’s economic and leadership opportunities through systemic change. This project will increase leadership opportunities for women from underrepresented backgrounds, implement consensus-building measures that better account for the unique needs of those who face intersecting discrimination and oppression that reproduce structural inequities, create a systematic space for all voices to be heard and have influence, and generate a model for nonprofits to move away from patriarchal structures of governance to systematically make space for Indigenous and other ways of knowing. They will collaborate with other community non-profit organizations to develop new and updated approaches that support more equitable and inclusive practices to decision making and distribution of power.

An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.

Through this 19-month project, the Centre de femmes Le point d’ancrage will build its capacity to advance women’s equality. It will address how the organization develops plans, makes decisions, and manages people. The project will include developing guides and policies, a human resources strategy, and a strategic plan as well as creating intervention tools. Lastly, the project will enable the implementation of a digital transition by supporting the management and organization of paper and digital records.

Through this 19-month systemic change project, Aftermetoo will scale its digital platform to advance women’s representation in leadership and decision-making roles, particularly focusing on young women aged 18-34, a group highly vulnerable to gender-based workplace harassment (GBWH). This initiative will expand the reach of the original Aftermetoo digital property, to this younger demographic, addressing their critical needs for support and resources in combatting GBWH. To achieve this, the project will develop and support online communities where young women can exchange resources, learn from shared experiences, and organize for systemic change. Ambassadors with lived experience will provide support and guidance to the communities. Additionally, the project will form partnerships with key stakeholders influencing the systems that impact those experiencing GBWH, aiming to use insights from the affected communities to foster improvements in these systems.
