ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 1, 2006 – MAY 31, 2007 MESSAGE FROM THE Anti-Dote Intergenerational Violence Prevention Program participants LEADERSHIP Since 1991, CWF has focused on creating long-term change for women and girls through our leadership, knowledge and resources. We’ve come a long way since our first year’s granting total of $40,000, and this past year has been a true testament to our growth: • we awarded over $2-million in major grants to 73 initiatives across Canada, and in small grants to 451 shelters for abused women • we raised more than $1-million for women’s shelters and violence prevention programs through Shelter from the Storm, our national fundraising and awareness campaign dedicated to ending violence against women • we presented four regional Economic Development Skills Institutes to learn and share best practices for moving low-income women out of poverty • we hosted two more successful “Women Play BIG” women and philanthropy conferences in partnership with Play BIG • we completed our first year of granting for the pilot phase of the Girls’ Fund and have been hearing great news about the impact of our funding This report gives us a chance to look back at the year with pride and renewed commitment, and to celebrate our partners: the corporations, individuals and foundations that are helping to create long-term change; and the grant recipients who are transforming the lives of women and girls every day. It’s your effort and commitment that reminds us there’s nothing we can’t achieve together for women and girls in Canada. As we move into a new year of leading change in the lives of women and girls, we look forward to the continued pleasure of your company and the power of your support. Deborah Bartlett Margot Franssen Beverley Wybrow Co-President Co-President Executive Director CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION 06-07 ANNUAL REPORT | 1 OUR MISSION We invest in the power of women and the dreams of girls.

OUR VISION We are the only national foundation that helps women and girls reach their full economic and social potential in Canadian society. Through our work, Canada will reach its true potential as women and girls reach theirs.

Applications are screened by a national panel of experts and community leaders, and initiatives that promise the greatest long-term impact are selected. Last year, CWF awarded $2,311,245 in grants to 73 such programs (in addition to 451 small grants awarded to shelters). Actua Girls’ Club participants property of Actua, 2007 ACTUA, NATIONAL GIRLS’ PROGRAM Girls’ Clubs: $50,000 over two years Actua offers excellent programs in science and technology to children. The National Girls’ Program gives girls the opportunity to experience the wonders of science, engineering and technology in a positive, all-girls environment, through summer camps, girls’ clubs and workshops. Girls learn more about the world around them, increase their skills and confidence, and meet new friends. This grant will strengthen and expand Girls’ Clubs at three sites in Halifax, NS; Saskatoon, SK; and Victoria, BC. “We know from experience that the most effective approach to supporting girls and nurturing their potential is to provide ongoing positive activities in safe, all-girls environments. We are thrilled to have established a partnership with Canadian Women’s Foundation and are grateful for the investment they have made to provide girls across Canada with hands-on experiences in science and technology.” Jennifer Flanagan President and CEO, Actua PEOPLE FOR A HEALTHY COMMUNITY ON GABRIOLA SOCIETY (PHC) Gabriola Island, British Columbia: $20,000 Gabriola Island is a semi-isolated, rural community off the coast of mainland BC. Through the “Violence Prevention and Response Team” PHC provides crisis response and safety initiatives for women at risk of experiencing violence. The program aims to increase access to services for those at risk, raise community awareness of violence against women, and develop strategies to help women rebuild their lives after experiencing violence. CWF’s grant will help PHC increase the capacity of their drop-in women’s centre and develop a comprehensive crisis response plan. This program is expected to serve 50 to 100 women. “Demand for services on the island has been overwhelming the capacity of many organizations, including ours, to meet needs. This grant will help coordinate a more formal framework of support services for women & children in our community, allowing us to be more efficient, focused and cost-effective.” Deborah Ferens PHC Board Member Canadian Women’s Foundation ensures your contributions fund the initiatives that make the most difference in the lives of women and girls in Canada. Below are examples of the ground-breaking work you have helped us to fund. NANAIMO FOODSHARE SOCIETY Nanaimo, British Columbia: $235,200 over five years WE FEAST (Women’s Entrepreneurship, Food Enterprise and Skill Training Program) is a self-employment training program for unemployed or underemployed women. Participants learn how to develop sustainable, food-related businesses and products that can be marketed at farmers’ markets, craft fairs, or other public events. “Developing an idea into a successful program is like making an amazing meal: first, the right ingredients must be present. Canadian Women’s Foundation has provided us with the key ingredients: funding, support, encouragement and most importantly, belief in our organization. In turn, we have been able to provide women with the tools and support needed to make positive changes in their lives. “The multi-year funding from CWF has assisted Nanaimo Foodshare to grow from a fledging non-profit society to a vibrant social and community development organization!” Jessica Chenery WE FEAST Coordinator, Nanaimo Foodshare CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION 06-07 ANNUAL REPORT | 3 MEDICINE HAT WOMEN’S SHELTER SOCIETY Medicine Hat, Alberta: $20,000 “Musasa House Second Stage Program” works with women and children to help them understand the causes of family violence, heal from abuse and make positive changes in their lives. This twophase, intensive support program includes services such as legal counsel, transportation, education, parenting and skill development. Support and counselling is available for children to teach them healthy ways to deal with anger and anxiety, inform them about safety planning, and help them to resolve behavioural problems resulting from exposure to violence. SINCE 1991 CWF has granted $12-million to 825 initiatives that are working to end violence against women, move low-income women out of poverty and build strong, resilient girls. YUKON FAMILY SERVICES ASSOCIATION Whitehorse, Yukon: $20,000 “Outreach to Young Women at Risk” helps young women who are substance users and who have experienced violence. Support is provided through a weekly drop-in service in partnership with the local women’s centre, and the “No Fixed Address” outreach van. A female counsellor provides young women with support, counselling and information to encourage positive life choices, harm reduction and safety. The outreach van allows her to connect directly with young women and encourage them to access support services. The weekly drop-in provides information, support, counselling and referrals. Women are also provided with a hot meal, shower, and activities. At least 200 women are expected to participate. GIRLS INC. OF YORK REGION Aurora, Ontario: $50,000 over two years LA PASSERELLE Drummondville, Québec: $20,000 Girls Inc. of York Region is dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong smart and bold, and offers a range of programs at sites throughout York Region. CWF’s grant supports SMART Girls, a program focused on science, math and technology, which also integrates leadership, economic literacy and physical activity. “Mission Possible” is a sexual assault prevention program for girls, aged 14 to 15, in the area of Nicolet-Yamaska, a community where no sexual assault centres exist. Participants work on building self-esteem and critical thinking skills to prevent sexual assault and ultimately, become agents of social change in their community around the issue. Up to 40 girls are expected to be involved. CWF’s funding is being used to support a project coordinator. “The grant from Canadian Women’s Foundation allows Girls Inc. of York Region to go into communities that have no access to services, and deliver quality programs to young girls who need them.” Sarah Breese Program Coordinator Girls Incorporated of York Region “The best part of Girls Inc. programs is that they are a gathering of girls only. We get together, talk together and the leaders teach us exciting new things that we never knew.” Ashley Girls Inc. Participant LANARK COUNTY INTERVAL HOUSE (LCIH) Carleton Place, Ontario: $23,000 “Support Groups for Mothers and Children” helps women and children rebuild their lives after violence. The child and youth support groups, designed for different age ranges, teach conflict resolution skills, safety plan development and facts about abuse. Participants also explore their feelings through art, roleplaying and discussion. The support groups for mothers, whose children are participating in a group, provide an opportunity to share information and resources, gain confidence in parenting skills and learn about custody and access issues, safety for children and self-care. Seventy participants are expected to be involved over the course of a year. FONDS D’EMPRUNT COMMUNAUTAIRE FEMININ Lachute, Québec: $241,651 over five years The Community Loan Fund for Women promotes financial independence of women and their families by offering selfemployment training to 140 women starting small businesses. Participants are given individual coaching, technical and financial support as they develop their business plans. 41 | 06-07 ANNUAL REPORT CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION MAKING WAVES/ VAGUE PAR VAGUE INC. Fredericton, New Brunswick: $145,505 over three years This innovative province-wide initiative sends four students from up to 16 schools to a Making Waves Weekend Retreat where they participate in activities, workshops and facilitated group discussions about relationship violence. Topics include healthy relationships, recognizing abuse, media awareness, gender stereotypes, self-esteem, prevention of sexual assault and effective communication. Participants then work on an action plan and develop awareness activities that they can run with students at their own schools. Making Waves is one of four groundbreaking initiatives to receive a multiyear teen violence prevention grant from CWF. Each program, which represents a different approach to helping youth develop healthy relationships, has been granted funding over three years. In the third year, grantees will participate in a cross-Canada learning road show to share knowledge and establish best practices for addressing violence prevention with teens. ALICE HOUSING Dartmouth, Nova Scotia: $20,000 “Healing the Bruises” provides counselling and therapeutic intervention for children who have witnessed abuse. The program also provides healthy parenting techniques for mothers so they can effectively re-embrace their parenting role (which is often dismantled by violence). CWF’s grant is being used to help fund a full-time child and youth counsellor. ENDING December 6th vigil, Montréal photo by Antoine Rouleau This year CWF awarded 57 violence prevention grants to initiatives in shelters and community organizations across Canada (including second-year funding for four ground-breaking teen violence prevention programs). Guided by our national strategic framework on violence prevention, CWF gives priority to women and girls who face multiple challenges: many of the programs work with rural, northern, Aboriginal, immigrant and refugee women or girls, Black women and women of colour, women with disabilities and Deaf women, older women, and street-involved women or girls. And in the area of teen violence prevention, CWF funds programs that educate both girls and boys about violence and developing positive, healthy relationships. Violence Prevention Grants at a Glance VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN “Women are the heart and soul of most of our families and our communities. They deserve our best efforts to protect and promote their well-being. That’s why everyone at Hbc, as well as our customers, store associates and vendors, believes in CWF and their fight against domestic abuse. Each year, we raise over $500,000 nationally and partner our stores with a women’s shelter in the local community.” Jerry Zucker Governor & CEO, Hbc Thirty seven grants were awarded to programs that are helping to heal and rebuild the lives of women who have experienced violence and children who have witnessed abuse. Sixteen grants were awarded to programs that teach girls and boys how to establish healthy relationships and prevent violence from occurring in their lives. Four multi-year grants (in their second year of funding) were awarded to programs that use a variety of delivery methods to understand the best approaches for teaching teen girls and boys how to prevent violence. In year three, grantees will participate in a cross-Canada learning event to share knowledge and best practices with other programs. “The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is proud of our nine-year partnership with Canadian Women’s Foundation. Strategically, CWF helps us make informed decisions about how best to support violence prevention in Canada in an effort to create real social change. At the community level, Royal LePage agents work with CWF to directly support shelters in the communities they serve.” Phil Soper President & CEO, Royal LePage Selecting the Most Promising Approaches to Breaking the Cycle of Violence CWF is delighted to announce that SWOVA, one of our four multi-year teen violence prevention grant recipients, was selected as a world-wide “Good Practice” by UN-Habitat, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, for its awardwinning “Respectful Relationships” program. It was one of 329 programs from around the world chosen to be featured on the UN-Habitat Best Practices Database. CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION 06-07 ANNUAL REPORT | 5 LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION IN GRANT-MAKING CWF is completing research on how our grants, and the application of the Sustainable Livelihoods model, are helping low-income women out of poverty. The results will be used to measure our success to date and to guide future grant-making and policy work. We will also share best practices with organizations across Canada that work with low-income women. In addition, the research will provide in-depth portraits of women whose lives have been changed through CWF-funded programs. “Canadian Women’s Foundation is helping to improve the lives of women and girls in communities across Canada by funding programs that enable them to reach their full economic and social potential. CIBC is proud of its support of Canadian Women’s Foundation’s Economic Development Collaborative Fund, which offers low-income women an opportunity to build a brighter future for themselves and their families.” Gerald T. McCaughey President and Chief Executive Officer, CIBC “Ricki’s is proud to support Canadian Women’s Foundation in its efforts to provide women with the skills and training they need to become financially independent. Our End Poverty for Women campaign provides employees and customers the opportunity to share in this commitment – and to make a real difference in the lives of women and children in our communities.” Gerry Bachynski WE FEAST “Taste of Things to Come” event participant photo by Kelly Picard About Sustainable Livelihoods Through our research and work in economic development, CWF learned that a woman’s transition out of poverty has common and identifiable stages that can be supported through a holistic, asset-based approach. Working together with evaluation consultants Eko Nomos and our economic development grant recipients, the Foundation developed “Sustainable Livelihoods”, a framework for moving low-income women out of poverty while building on all aspects of their lives. Adapted from an international model, Sustainable Livelihoods identifies five asset areas that characterize the capabilities and resources women require as they move out of poverty. Emphasis is placed on identifying strengths rather than deficits, and women are provided a guide as they develop a plan to enhance the asset areas which need the most development. Sustainable Livelihoods also provides an excellent foundation for researching and assessing program results because of its people-centred, positive, holistic, and outcome-oriented approach. President, Ricki’s 6 | 06-07 ANNUAL REPORT CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION CHANGING Photo property of Alice Housing, 2007 LIVES How the initiatives you’ve helped us to fund have changed the lives of women and girls... “The confidence and self-esteem I have gained from being a part of this program has changed my life. I used to have no selfesteem and would never pick up the phone. Now I am answering phones every day and enjoy speaking to new people. I am a better person, a better mother and I have a whole new attitude about life.” “The program is so much fun and has shown me that I am a leader and I should believe in myself.” “As the bits and pieces come together I feel as though the challenges have helped to sharpen my mind and I feel confident that I am fulfilling goals I have set for myself. I have also come to recognize where some of my weaknesses are. I knew they were there, I just didn’t have the circumstances or opportunity to acknowledge what or where they were. Better yet, in those weak areas, I know who to access, to lighten the load. Not only have you renewed a confidence in me, there is a spark reignited...” “I learned that you can get help if needed: you are not alone.” “Not only did you give us the tools to write a business plan; by encouraging us, keeping us busy, focused and accountable, you also skillfully but gently gave us the push to take that leap.” “At the beginning of the program, when you asked the girls to describe what a leader looked like, without exception, it was ‘a man in a suit who was the boss’. At the end of the program it was their grannies, their moms, their teachers and themselves.” “When I first came to this agency, I didn’t know who I was or what I wanted to do with my life, I only knew that I wanted to be safe. If not for their help and support, I can assure you that I would not be writing this letter today.” “I love my new life and it just keeps getting better. I am learning about healthy relationships and boundaries so that I never have to put up with being abused again.” CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION 06-07 ANNUAL REPORT | 7 LEADING CHANGE FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS photo by Robert A. Taylor “RBC had a shared vision with Canadian Women’s Foundation to build resiliency in girls and help them reach their potential. Together RBC and CWF have strategically invested to bring this vision to life and have been joined by other wonderful partners. RBC is proud to continue our decade-long relationship with CWF and our investment in the Girls’ Fund.” Stephen Voisin Executive Director, RBC Foundation “Recognizing women who take on leadership roles in their communities is important to TD. Combine this with programs that remove barriers, helping women and girls become a positive force in society and CWF becomes a natural fit for us. We believe that by empowering women to help others improve their lives, we are in turn investing in stronger families and communities, now and in the future.” Colleen Johnston Chief Financial Officer, TD Bank Financial Group “I feel passionately that every woman and child deserves to live free from the fear of abuse. It is a fundamental human right, and yet so many are deprived of that right. Moreover, the costs to society of abused women and children are staggering: for treatment, shelter, education and lost productivity. Canadian Women’s Foundation plays a critical role in stopping the cycle of abuse through strategic and effective funding of research, programming and support for women and girls all across the country. CWF gives them back their future. I applaud CWF and support their work. Please join me!” Gail O’Brien Leadership donor, Calgary “Scotiabank is very proud to continue our support for the great work performed by Canadian Women’s Foundation. We thank the Foundation for its impressive contribution to our community and for making a difference in many women’s lives.” Sylvia D. Chrominska Executive Vice President, Human Resources and Public, Corporate and Government Affairs Scotiabank “McCarthy Tétrault is a proud supporter of CWF. We recognize the significant work of the Foundation in helping girls and women to overcome many challenges and reach their full potential. Our firm is committed to the advancement of women and we are pleased to be associated with an organization that shares this goal and promotes it in the wider community to the benefit of many.” Kirby Chown Ontario Regional Managing Partner, McCarthy Tétrault LLP 8 | 06-07 ANNUAL REPORT CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE Atlantic Economic Development Skills Institute ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REGIONAL SKILLS INSTITUTES This past year CWF presented four Economic Development Skills Institutes in regions across Canada (instead of one National Institute). The forums were developed in response to regional issues that are impacting the women’s economic development sector, and are an opportunity for organizations to increase their effectiveness by sharing and learning from each other’s experiences and celebrating each other’s successes. Attendees heard guest speakers, participated in workshops and gathered in provincial roundtables to discuss local issues and policies that are impacting women’s economic development. Topics included financial literacy for women, engaging diverse communities of women, public policy, growing a successful social purpose enterprise, and the effectiveness of selfemployment training. “I take away inspiration, validation, excitement, renewed energy, renewed acquaintances, new ideas and understanding. This was by far one of the most useful conferences I’ve ever attended.” Atlantic Skills Institute Participant “I’ve found so many great examples of women’s economic development programs. I can hardly wait to incorporate them into my work.” Western Skills Institute Participant ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SKILLS INSTITUTES AT A GLANCE Atlantic Region: 16 organizations & 32 participants Quebec: 16 organizations & 35 participants British Columbia: 50 organizations & 80 participants Western Region: 26 organizations & 55 participants Ontario: To be held in October 2007 Canadian Women’s Foundation makes sharing knowledge and resources a priority so that the many organizations working to change the lives of women and girls in Canada have the best possible tools to help them achieve their vision. Below are some examples of our work in this area. GIRLS’ FUND GRANTEE MEETINGS Once a year CWF invites the Girls’ Fund grant recipients to come together and share success stories, discuss evaluation, and benchmark the best approaches to building resiliency in girls. One exciting result from the 2006 meeting was the development of a new partnership and program between two of the organizations we fund: The St. John’s Boys and Girls Club (one of the local sites of the CAAWS “On the Move” program) and ACTUA (science and technology-based programs for youth). The two groups are now working together to give lowincome kids in St. John’s, Newfoundland the opportunity to attend science camp. WOMEN PLAY BIG Following the success of the first Women Play BIG in Toronto in early 2006, CWF and Play BIG presented a second and third Women Play BIG in Calgary and Toronto. The two-day conference is a forum, for leading women philanthropists, on the most effective strategies for expanding the influence of their money and creating long-term social and environmental change. Guests participated in workshops and panel discussions, and heard inspiring stories from others who are leveraging their capital for social good. Speakers included Helen LaKelly Hunt, Helen Zukerman, Aviva Zukerman Schure, Nancy Coxford, The Honourable Margaret Norrie McCain, Martha Burton and Carol Newell. Play BIG is an initiative founded by Vancouver-based philanthropist/investor Carol Newell and philanthropic consultant Marian Moore to help other major wealth-holders accelerate the conscious and strategic use of their capital to its best advantage in helping to shape a healthy world. CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION 06-07 ANNUAL REPORT | 9 MAKING HISTORY An incredible team of corporate partners, volunteers and individual donors came together for a third year to raise over $1million for Shelter from the Storm, CWF’s national fundraising and awareness campaign, dedicated to ending violence against women.

We are particularly excited this year to launch a brand new product that we anticipate will generate real engagement with our customers. The special-edition Stop Violence in the Home Hi-Shine Lip Treatment not only feels and looks great, the funds it will raise have the power to make an incredible difference to the lives of the women and children that the CWF supports. We look forward to building on the success of the wonderful partnership we share with the CWF in this coming year.” Laine Ferguson EVP Canadian Operations, The Body Shop Lindsey Russell Carolyn Russo Joseph P.
