Description:
This 59-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 business plan, a fundraising plan, a communications, and partnership plan. This national organization is an alliance of women's organizations at the national, provincial, territorial, and local levels whose primary mandate is to advance gender equality in Canada.
As a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, FAFIA was required to shift its project activities from in-person to online in accordance with public health guidelines.
To support the organization’s capacity to do this, supplemental funding was provided for FAFIA to update and manage its website, increase online presence and enhance virtual reach and accessibility.
The second supplemental fund extension will support FAFIA to build capacity around digital resiliency by developing protocols to manage the risks associated with the current and emerging digital environment; taking advantage of opportunities to improve communications, human resources, partnership development and networking through the use of new and effective digital tools; and, creating a sustainable base for ongoing operational capacity.
