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.
1000 Women: Inspiring Possibilities
Thursday, October 13, 2022
Join us in-person this fall as we celebrate 13 years of transforming student lives and create new ways of Inspiring Possibilities!
Now is the time to inspire her possibilities.
Your donation to the current 1000 Women campaign makes a transformational impact on the number of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) in Alberta.
Don't miss the chance to create a future driven by inclusion, equity and resiliency for women ready to demonstrate their promise to their families, their communities and, most importantly, themselves.
"Hold on...for on more day"
We are thrilled to share with you the official painting for the 1000 Women 4 STEM Campaign, created by local artist Giselle Denis.
As part of our 1000 Women tradition, scarves have been made in the likeness of our official painting. Make your $1,000 donation today to the 1000 Women 4 STEM campaign and receive your scarf.
