Women’s Trust Fund

A local group of women joined forces and established the Women’s Trust of Hamilton, Burlington and District – the first local women’s foundation in Canada. The Women’s Trust is a partner of the Canadian Women’s Foundation and a member of the National Network of Women’s Funds (U.S.), a group that has expanded from four to 60 in the last decade.

The Women’s Trust has established a fund with the Hamilton Community Foundation and the proceeds of this fund are used to support women and their children.
