The Northwestern Ontario Women’s Centre relies on government funding and private donations to continue our work. Donors can designate the area of service they wish to support: General program, Bursary Fund, Good Food Box Program, Special Events, Legal Education and Advocacy, etc.
We provide charitable tax receipts for monetary contributions over $20.00. Donations can be made by:
- Cheque made out to the Northwestern Ontario Women’s Centre
- Interac Email Transfer to [email protected]
- Via Canada Helps
- Via Donation page at United Way Thunder Bay
- PAD transfer (PAD allows you to contribute a consistent amount on a regular basis, which assists us in planning future projects!)
Why consider becoming a monthly or sustaining donor?
For 2026, the NOWC has a goal of securing 10 new monthly donors! The first ten new monthly donors will receive a beautiful Feminist pin, hand-crafted by local artisan Feral Wife (featured here!)
By giving a small amount each month, you help create a consistent source of revenue that allows us to respond quickly to requests from women using the Centre, such as hygiene supplies, water bottles, bus passes, grocery cards, Good Food Coupons, winter gloves/hats. Monthly support also allows us to meet our increased rent expense and other costs associated with moving, plan specific programs, keep our resource centre updated, and build our LU Bursary fund.
Our heartfelt thanks to all our generous donors in 2025! The community raised funds for the Women’s Centre through numerous events over the past year, including: Bight Restaurant, Clay Collective, Women and Gender Studies Student Association (LU), Women in Law (LU), Dame Mas Dance, and customer donations collected and disbursed by local Shoppers Drug Mart stores. We received donations from OPSEU (December 6 event) and CEIU Ontario, and from many individuals in the community.
