Caroline Lévesque

Each donation makes it easier for women to succeed in their new professional project.

“Accepting to be an ambassador for this cause means supporting women’s autonomy and empowerment today while building a better future for the next generation. As a mother, my main goal is to see my daughters grow into independent and fulfilled individuals. Providing women with the means to achieve their full potential is essential for a more equal future.”

Notice to donors

Donations over $1,000

Please note that for all donations over $1,000, pre-authorized debit is the default payment method, as it is secure and free of charge. However, you can click on Other payment methods to pay by credit card, cheque or Apple Pay.

Platform costs

Unlike other donation platforms, Zeffy allows 100% of your donation to go to the Lise Watier Foundation, with no transaction fees. In return, it offers you the non-obligatory option of adding a tip for maintaining its services. If you do not wish to participate, please select Other from the drop-down menu in section 03, then enter $0.

For donations over $1,000, if a pink box prompts you to share the fees, you can close it by clicking the X in the top right corner to continue your payment without any additional charges.

Write an encouraging message


The participants of the Let’s Start Up program of the Lise Watier Foundation have experienced situations of vulnerability. They are now working hard to find their way back to financial independence. Help them believe in themselves and spread their wings by writing them an encouraging message! 

$5 will be donated by our partner la Vie en Rose for each message written.

Graduate of the Entrepreneurship Program

The Lise Watier Foundation offers the Let’s Start Up Pathway in Montreal, Quebec City, the Laurentians, Montérégie, Sherbrooke, Drummondville and Toronto. More than 350 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. Women thus begin a new journey towards financial independence through entrepreneurship, a return to school or a more fulfilling job.
