This 56-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the following activities: development and implementation of a strategic plan including financial sustainability, strengthened communications, enhanced and formalized human resources policies, including an employee retention and development plan, a community engagement strategy for the feminist research community, and increased membership and enhanced fundraising capacity through the development and implementation of a membership outreach and fundraising strategy. This project will build organizational capacity through the development and implementation of an effective, sustainable, and long-term strategic plan in order to strengthen its ability to promote and advocate for women’s rights through evidence-based feminist research across Canada. The supplemental funding will be used to strengthen two priority areas from the strategic plan; raising their visibility and working collaboratively. Additionally, supplemental funding will be used to develop a strategic communication plan to increase membership donor base, to develop human resource policies and a retention plan, as well as a community engagement strategy for feminist research organizations.
