Our bursary fully funds the cost of childcare at NorQuest’s on-campus licensed childcare facility, allowing parents to focus on achieving their goals while confident that their child is close by and well cared for.

Changing lives since 2010
In the beginning, we were met with doubt that a women-led philanthropic movement would be successful. But what we discovered is the exact opposite: the power of women’s philanthropy is nothing short of amazing.
To date, 1000 Women has raised over $5.5 million dollars, providing necessary funding to help students in need pursue their education and enter a space of learning and growth.
Through the generosity of our donors, 1000 Women has impacted almost 1000 lives and made the pursuit of education more equitable and inclusive.
