1000 Women

The 1000 Women movement has raised more than $3.5 million since 2010 and continues to strive to offer more opportunities to transform lives. Supporters of 1000 Women are amazingly generous and selfless. They encourage greatness and remove barriers for learners. They enable success and give the tools needed to flourish in our community. Above all, they recognize the power and potential of women to accomplish amazing things.

Save the date - October 13, 2022

After two years of virtual events, we’ve reimagined our annual fundraising luncheon and are pleased to announce our new event: 1000 Women – Inspiring Possibilities! Join us at NorQuest College for an evening of fundraising, transformational stories, and coming together to inspire possibilities for our students.

Mark the evening of Thursday, October 13, 2022 in your calendars for a night to remember. Tickets go on sale July 2022.

We would like to acknowledge all of the 2022 sponsors who are making 1000 Women – Inspiring Possibilities possible through their generosity.
