About Us
We are Canada’s leading national fundraising foundation for women’s health with a focus on reproductive issues. We are champions of increased funding for research on women’s health. We foster support for international women’s health programs.
We derive our strength from the thousands of women, men, corporations and organizations that support our work. And we derive our credibility from our partnerships with the leading national professional women’s health societies:
- The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC)
- The Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynecology (APOG)
- The Society of Gynecologic Oncologists of Canada (GOC)
- The Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS)
- Canadian Society of Pelvic Medicine (CSPM)
- Society of Colposcopists (SCC)
By advancing the science of women’s health, the Foundation helps women attain self-determination over their bodies.
When you support the CFWH, you are helping women through research into areas such as:
- In utero fetal health
- Preterm labour
- Safer pregnancies
- Post-partum depression
- Gestational diabetes
- Infertility
- Safe delivery and newborn health
- Better use of drugs during pregnancy.
Your support also advances the science behind:
- Treatment and research of breast, ovarian, cervical and uterine cancers
- Menopause
- Contraception
- Care and health of women throughout their lifespan.
Supporting the Foundation means supporting mothers and their babies, and helps ensure that all women have access to optimal and comprehensive health care and health information.
