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

“I am honored to join the Lise Watier Foundation as an ambassador, as this cause deeply resonates with my personal values. Supporting women—whether psychologically, socially, or financially—is essential to me. I grew up in a family where women’s financial independence was not only encouraged but also celebrated. Today, I pass on these same values to my 17-year-old daughter, showing her the importance of being free while feeling confident in herself. Joining this Foundation is an opportunity for me to help other women take flight and thrive while leaving a positive and lasting impact on this cause.”

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.

Écrire un mot d’encouragement

Les participantes au programme s’Entreprendre de la Fondation Lise Watier ont vécu des situations de vulnérabilité. Elles mettent aujourd’hui tous leurs efforts à retrouver le chemin de l’autonomie financière. Aidez-les à croire en elles, à déployer leurs ailes en leur écrivant un mot d’encouragement!

5 $ sera versé par notre partenaire la Vie en Rose pour chaque mot rédigé.

MARIE-ÈVE

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.
