Jul 12, 2019 - Mar 31, 2024

This 57-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow Mouvement Ontarien des Femmes Immigrantes Francophones (MOFIF) to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the development and implementation of a five-year strategic plan, strengthening board governance, implementing a recruitment and retention strategy for volunteers and interns to enable the creation and sustainability of dynamic, permanent and ad hoc committees, as well as strengthening their ability to advocate for changes impacting immigrant and refugee women across Ontario. The supplemental funding provided in 2020 will allow MOFIF to strengthen its capacity to offer new programs to Francophone immigrant women and establish the necessary partnerships to address the impacts of the pandemic across the province. The 2023 supplemental funding will be used to develop a new communication strategy, develop a strategy to expand the organisation, develop new partnerships (anglophone organisations and provincial/national key players), ensure support for emerging immigrant women's organizations, develop a strategy for engaging young girls and ensure funding sustainability with training for the MOFIF team and the development of tools.
