Why participate in our silent auction?

Because even today in Canada, 44% of working women earn less than $30,000 per year. 

By taking part in this interactive auction, you enable the Lise Watier Foundation to help more women in vulnerable economic, social, or professional situations achieve sustainable financial independence. 

Through Let’s Start Up, the Foundation offers a unique and free approach to building the financial independence of local women. It guides each woman towards realizing her full professional potential, allowing her to envision her future with confidence and determination. 

A big thank you to our partners

We would like to warmly thank all our partners and donors who have generously contributed to this auction to support local women. Your support is invaluable and enables life-changing projects.

More than 300 women a year are committed to taking action through the Let’s Start Up Pathway. They graduate with a better understanding of their strengths and skills, as well as the knowledge and tools to implement their professional project.
