Feb 7, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026

Through this 14-month project, Famous 5 Foundation (F5F) will build its capacity to advance gender equality by continuing to honour the Famous 5 as well as inspire and champion women’s leadership today. This will be achieved by updating their governance as a National not-for-profit organization, either as an independent organization largely funded by the existing Famous 5 Foundation (a charity), or as a new not-for-profit organization which earns a charitable number. The organization will develop a 5 year Strategic Plan leading to the 100th Anniversary of the Persons Case and slightly beyond, a 5 year Fundraising Plan to carry the organization past the 100th Anniversary of the Persons Case, as well as a 5 year Communications Plan inclusive of the organization’s achievements, areas for improvement, new messaging and strategies. An advisory committee will review and provide input into draft plans before they are reviewed for approval by the Famous 5 Foundation’s board.
