Dear members and supporters of REAL Women of Canada:

By now, many of you will have received a personal letter from us informing you of our 2022 Fall Fundraising Campaign.  We sincerely thank all of you who have already contributed to this campaign.  We have a fundraising goal of $125,000, which we will be required to attain by January 1, 2023 in order to meet our 2023 expenses. 

For 40 years, we have been the only national women’s movement that speaks for women who support the values of traditional family and marriage.  We are the counterweight to the radical feminist groups, who often claim to speak for all Canadian women.

For 40 years, REAL Women has been a voice on behalf of the family in a clear and uncompromising manner.

REAL Women of Canada is managed by a very dedicated volunteer Board of Directors, and is completely independent of any other organization. The generosity of our members and supporters has maintained us all these years, and for that, we are forever grateful to you. In our almost 40 years of advocacy work, we have only had two official fundraising campaigns, in 2014 and in 2019. In both of those campaigns, you were amazingly generous. We are now reaching out to you once again. Our financial needs have been great over the last 3 years:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant drop in donations, from which we have not recovered.
  • We have had to upgrade the outdated computers and printers in our Ottawa and Toronto offices. This is still a work in progress.
  • Gwen Landolt, our Vice President and Legal Counsel, is currently working on her third book, which is on feminism. The sale of this book will be financially helpful to us. The sales from her first two books went a long way to help REAL Women pay our bills. Your financial assistance will help her complete and publish this third book.
  • Our operating costs for rent, insurance, labour and office supplies continue to rise. Like everyone else, we are encumbered by the inflationary costs of these items.

Our emails are read by many people across Canada and our Facebook posts and Tweets are very active on social media.

We respectfully ask all our supporters who have not yet contributed to the 2022 Fall Campaign to consider what financial commitment you can make to REAL Women in thanksgiving for our 40th Anniversary.

Gifts can be made by mail or online, either by using a credit card, or by e-transfer.

We would be honoured if you would give us the continued mandate to be a voice for you in Parliament, in the courts and in the media.

Yours for the family,

REAL Women of Canada
