The Foundation raises money for bursaries so under-represented women, and women with limited financial means can attend WIFT-T programs. As part of our strategic plan, we will also be launching a fundraising campaign to update our groundbreaking study Frame Work: Employment in Canadian Screen-Based Media-A National Profile. The Foundation also allows us to hold networking events that support the industry as a whole. Your donation will help directly support women in screen-based media (film, television and digital media) to build, advance and sustain their careers nationally and internationally.

Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan is a volunteer not-for-profit organization founded in 1996 with over ten chapters across Canada. The goals are to advance education and educational opportunities for Afghan women and their families; and to educate and increase the understanding of Canadians about human rights in Afghanistan. Donor funded projects are implemented and managed in partnership with Afghan non-profit organizations. These projects include a number of community schools, village libraries, an orphanage, as well as teacher training, literacy, English and computer classes. The projects are funded mainly from individual donations from Canadians. Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan members were honoured with the YMCA Calgary Peace Award in the International category for their long-standing contribution to supporting peace and human rights for Afghan women and their families.

Peace of Heart Choir, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation ("the Choir"), was founded in 2001 by local composer Jeff Becker, who recruited 28 singers to present his original, 9/11 commemorative song at a NYC Recovers’ community event. Today, the choir’s mission remains the same: using music to build bridges and community and speak to diverse communities in times of need. The Choir annually performs approximately 20 community concerts – free-of-charge – at public venues or onsite at social service organizations throughout New York City, focusing on underserved groups yearning to hear music, including the sick; the elderly; the disabled; and the homeless.
