Women in Philanthropy is a research initiative to address women’s giving in Canada and to build a field of research along with practical tools for women beginning or continuing their philanthropy.

The project goals are to:

• Facilitate mutual learning among women philanthropists and changemakers of different generations and communities.  
• Understand the different paths women are taking in their philanthropy and share lessons that will be of value to others.  
• Develop current and future research capacity and expertise on women in philanthropy by increasing the number of Canadian scholars engaged in this research.
• Advance thought leadership and broader awareness of women in philanthropy through communication with wider audiences.    

This research began in Spring 2025 and is being conducted in several stages. To stay up to date on the project’s progress, follow us on LinkedIn or Instagram.
