Donate

We support thousands of women entrepreneurs across Canada each year and depend on donations to provide them with the education, mentorship, and resources they need to thrive in business. Your financial support will ensure they have access to real-world knowledge and an empowering community so they can make the right decisions – for their business, team, and communities.

The Forum continues to collect funds to create initiatives for the women entrepreneurs most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the pandemic started, we have supported over 5,500 women entrepreneurs in Canada with new programs and resources to help them build resiliency and continue growing their businesses.

The Forum is a registered Canadian charity (#861056646RR0001). We provide tax receipts for donations over $20 CAD.

Donate To Our Bursary Funding

Sponsoring or funding bursaries ensures that all women entrepreneurs can access the education and resources The Forum provides. We’re able to use these funds to support women who are financially unable to participate in our programming, leaving no woman behind. Every year The Forum works with our corporate partners, donors, and supporters to ensure all women are able to access the resources they need to thrive. We actively encourage contributions from any individuals, corporations, or foundations who want to help grow this funding.

Volunteer

Donate your time and help us organize and execute the many initiatives The Forum undertakes for women entrepreneurs. We’re always looking for office volunteers, event coordinators, programming assistants, and more and, as a volunteer, you’ll often get to attend the events you help organize and hear our guest speakers for free.

Sponsor Programming & Resources

Our sponsors are our lifeline. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to create the dynamic, engaging, and highly relevant programming we do for women entrepreneurs. When you become a Forum sponsor, you get to access an extraordinary community and support the advancement of women making moves in business all across Canada.

 
 
 

Sponsor Content

Interested in spotlighting your business, product, service, event, organization and more? The Forum offers Sponsored Content as a way to learn more about our community and what they have to offer, while also gaining access to insights, resources, and inspiration that will help entrepreneurs reach their next milestone. We've seen what our community is capable of and we want to share more with our readers. Sponsored content also helps The Forum raise funds for critical programming as a registered charity.

As a content sponsor, we'll work with you to spread the word, ensuring your custom content meets your goals while bringing value to the community to access the resources and support that they need to thrive. If you're not sure which package is right for you, if your product or service is a match for our audience, or just want to chat through how our partnership would work, don't hesitate to connect with us!

Become A Faculty Member Or Speaker

Every programming season we need the support of generous faculty members and speakers to make all our educational sessions possible. We would love to get to know you better for future engagement opportunities.

 
 
 
 

We are a signatory of the 50 – 30 Challenge

 

Which will act as a framework to accelerate diversity actions already taking place in many Canadian organizations and to encourage other Canadian organizations in adopting practices to improve equity.

 
 
 
 
 

 We’re committed to socially conscious entrepreneurship

 

We support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals — to end poverty, fight inequality, and protect the planet by 2030 — and encourage you to as well.
