Equality Fund Fonds Égalité

Equality fund/fonds égalité (the 'organization' or 'ef') (formerly match international centre/centre match international) is a groundbreaking collaborative initiative that aims to deliver new momentum for women's movements across the globe. As a collective of partners its vision is clear: to shift power and resources to local women's rights organizations and leaders on the frontlines of building and sustaining a more gender equal world and as an effective way to fight poverty and inequality; to disrupt traditional funding mechanisms by applying a feminist approach to global change and attracting new sources of funding and unusual partners to mobilize philanthropic and investment capital in canada and beyond to build a brighter more equitable future for everyone everywhere. Ef carries on charitable activities 'to facilitate the implementation of self-help programs designed to have social education healthful or economic community impact by means of matching the needs and resources of women in developing countries with those of canadians and the sharing of expenses and knowledge on a co-operative basis.'
