Questions
Why Have Memberships?
We are a nationally incorporated not-for-profit organization that relies on members to help shape our operations and activities. Persons that are admitted to membership have a number of rights, responsibilities, and benefits, as outlined in our organizational by-laws and membership program page.
Why Charge for Memberships?
We are a grassroots non-profit organization doing important gender-equality work across Canada. We operate in a resource-scarce sector, and accordingly, we seek to generate funding through diverse means, including membership, grants, and services, so that we can do more for the communities we serve.
Managing a membership program in accordance with our by-laws and providing additional benefits requires internal capacity and sufficient resources. The income generated from our membership program is used to support activities such as internal capacity building, providing honorariums for writers and speakers, and developing meaningful resources to further our mission.
Why Become a Member?
Becoming a member gives you the opportunity to shape the organization in a meaningful and tangible way. It welcomes you into a community of women and gender-diverse people that are working to transform their communities for everyone.
We would love to have you join us!
Who Can Become a Member?
Anyone can become a member! Our only requirements are that you: 1) have an interest in urban policies and programs that contribute to positive outcomes for women, girls, and others, 2) live in, or have a strong connect to Canada, and 3) agree to the membership terms & conditions.
We welcome folks of all genders that want to advance gender equity in Canadian cities.
