Giving once helps.
Giving every month creates lasting impact.
A monthly gift is a simple, accessible way to support our mission continuously. No matter the amount, every contribution makes a difference and allows the Foundation to:
- plan its programs with confidence and stability;
- support more women throughout the year;
- develop high-impact initiatives;
- and make every dollar go further.
Why give every month?
Because behind every gift, there’s a story still unfolding.
A monthly gift allows the Foundation to provide consistent support and plan meaningful, lasting actions for the women in our programs.
And behind that commitment are people who choose to show up, month after month, to help a woman reclaim her power.
Because no journey transforms overnight. And because moving forward is easier when someone believes in you.
Pascal & Corinne…
Pascal gives every month because he believes that ongoing support is the most effective way to advance the Foundation’s mission — creating lasting change for women. Thanks to donors like him, Corinne was able to structure her business and build a solid foundation for growth. A project born from passion became a real, sustainable venture.
Marielle & Elodie…
Marielle gives every month because she believes that consistent support can truly transform a life — giving a woman the stability she needs to pursue her ambitions, no matter the obstacles. Thanks to donors like her, Elodie was able to return to law school while raising her baby after arriving in Québec. Today, she is a member of the Barreau du Québec, practicing the career she always dreamed of.
Even a small monthly amount provides the steady, reliable support that is essential to sustaining and growing our programs.

A voice from the Month After Month Community
Marie-Lourdes, Administrative Assistant at the Lise Watier Foundation, shares: “What moves me most about the Foundation’s mission is its ability to restore hope and confidence, and a sense of possibility in women who had sometimes stopped believing in themselves. I chose to give monthly because I want to contribute, in my own way, to creating meaningful and lasting change — and to help more women reclaim their space, their independence, and their full potential.” — Marie-Lourdes, monthly donor for 3 years

It truly does. Consistency matters more than amount. Five dollars a month adds up to $60 a year, but more importantly, it’s the predictability of those funds that makes a real difference for the women we support.
Parce que lorsqu’on aide une femme à reprendre confiance en elle et à bâtir son indépendance financière, l’impact va bien au-delà d’une seule Because when you help a woman rebuild her confidence and achieve financial independence, the impact reaches far beyond a single person.
Every woman who reclaims her sense of agency also transforms the future of her children, her family, and her community. At the Lise Watier Foundation, we believe that investing in women’s potential helps build a stronger, more equitable, and more prosperous society for everyone.
