EMPOWERING WOMEN TO REACH FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

Month After Month Monthly Giving Campaign 

Giving once helps. Giving every month creates lasting impact. 

With the Month After Month campaign, you join a community of committed donors who believe that one simple monthly gesture can make a meaningful difference in a woman’s life. Monthly giving is a simple, accessible and meaningful way to support the Foundation on an ongoing basis. Because real change does not happen overnight, your continued support helps more women throughout the year on their journey toward financial independence.  

Every month, you can be part of the change.

The IMPACT Initiative

Led by our co-chairs of the 12th Annual Ball, Julie Godin (CGI) and Nicolas Patard (National Bank), this initiative brings together 11 leading companies that have chosen to invest not only in the mission of the Lise Watier Foundation, but also in the professional development of women.

As IMPACT partners, these companies have not only contributed to the success of the Ball — they have also been paired with a participant from the Let’s Start Up Pathway, offering her a professional development grant, personalized mentorship, and privileged access to business networks.
