50 Years of Feminist Research for Change


In 2026, the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women marks 50 years of feminist
intersectional research advancing women’s rights in Canada. For five decades, our research
has informed policy, strengthened feminist movements, and supported systemic change.

As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to invest in the next 50 years. CRIAW-ICREF
depends on the support of its members and donors from across Canada. We are a non-profit
organization and federally registered charity (Charitable Registration No: 123269680 RR 0001).

Full tax receipts are issued for donations. The standard $30 membership includes a partial tax receipt;
membership contributions above $30 are eligible for a full tax receipt.


For five decades, CRIAW-ICREF has:

  • Produced rigorous feminist intersectional research shaping public policy
  • Advanced gender equality through collaboration across community and academia
  • Made accessible, bilingual research available free of charge
  • Strengthened feminist research capacity across Canada
Your support ensures this work continues to be responsive, independent, and grounded in community realities.

Your donation supports CRIAW-ICREF to:

  • Produce fact-based, feminist intersectional research and analysis on pressing women's rights issues
  • Provide clear language research findings, in accessible formats, in French and English, for free, so they
    can be used widely to advocate for systemic and structural change
  • Develop easy-to-use feminist intersectional research toolkits and guides so other feminist and
    community-based organizations can conduct research for change
