When women unite in a shared vision for the future, the potential for change is limitless. Over the past decade, UNICEF Canada’s women-led giving circles, The 25th Team and Women UNlimited, raised an incredible $12 million and directly impacted the lives of 2.3 million children and families in some of the world’s toughest places.

Now, we’re building on the legacy of one of Canada’s most influential giving circles through this exciting next chapter. We are welcoming new members who are ready to drive change through collective action to join our female-led philanthropic program, Women UNlimited.

By becoming a member of Women UNlimited, you will join for a two-year term and commit to a financial pledge. In collaboration with women across Canada, your contributions will drive sustainable, scalable, and innovative impact. Examples include initiatives aimed at dismantling educational barriers, fortifying healthcare systems, combating gender-based violence and child marriage, enhancing menstrual hygiene through the provision of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities, and more.

We invite you to join us. 

Learn more and get involved by contacting womenunlimited@unicef.ca.
