Support Us

By donating to the NAWL Charitable Trust for Research and Education, you help support critical feminist law reform work in Canada.

Support NAWL's Operations

Historically NAWL’s operations and work have been supported by public funding primarily from the federal government, membership fees, and funds received from foundations, individuals and other sources from time to time. At the request of the Trust, NAWL also delivers activities funded by charitable donations made to the Trust.
Every gift, no matter the size, helps ensure that an intersectional, feminist and gender-lens is applied when and where it’s most needed on matters of law reform and that the lived experiences and realities of all women are reflected in our law reform advocacy.

    Donating to the National Association of Women and the Law Charitable Trust for Research and Education

    In 1983, the National Association of Women and the Law Charitable Trust for Research and Education (the NAWL Trust) was established to complement NAWL’s advocacy work. A registered charity, the NAWL Trust’s mandate includes undertaking research and education on legal issues concerning all aspects of the social, economic and political life of Canadian women. It assists in the protection of women’s civil rights and liberties by charitable means, as well as in the relief of poverty.

    The NAWL Trust is a registered charity and relies solely on the generous donations of individuals and grants to fund its work. Charitable tax receipting is available.

    Charitable registration number: 14083 5885 RR0001.
