What We OfferCFUW Sudbury offers something for all women - a chance to socialize, to develop personally, to contribute to the community and learn about advocacy and human rights. CFUW has played a critical role in women’s issues in Canada for over ninety years. CFUW welcomes all women and female students who support our mission and values. There are a wide variety of Interest Groups for members to join (book clubs, wine tasting, dining, pole walking, horticulture, film, et cetera). One of our major initiatives is the annual disbursement of awards in support of deserving women who are pursuing higher education in Sudbury.

Maintaining a Healthy Charitable Trust (from CFUW National)
Contributions to the Charitable Trust (CT) are critical to maintaining the ability of CFUW Charitable Trust to continue its important role in our Fellowships program. There are a number of ways member and Clubs contribute to this. We very much appreciate all of the help we have received over the years. Some of the ways you can assist us in maintaining a healthy Trust are your contributions to the Boutique at the Annual General Meeting (many thanks); the lunch/breakfast at the AGM (please join us this year); purchasing our lovely celebration and Christmas cards (available at the AGM) ; Club contributions; and, of course, direct contributions on our website (http://cfuwcharitabletrust.ca/). We have an annual event at Shaw, this year a matinee of Me and My Girl at the Shaw Festival on Thursday, April 27. Tickets are $65 with a $15 receipt for tax purposes. The proceeds are in support of the CFUW Charitable Trust post-graduate awards and fellowships. If interested contact annmce@sympatico.ca
We have been very fortunate that some Clubs, when they have had a change in circumstance, have made special arrangements with the CT. In March 2015, the Education Council-Wolfville transferred the proceeds of their education fund to the CFUW Charitable Trust to establish a new award, the CFUW Aboriginal Women's Award (AWA).
In reviewing our Charter (which we are recreating as Articles and Bylaws), we became very aware that it is important for us, and all Clubs, to determine the allocation of their assets upon dissolution. We all sincerely hope that there are no occasions where this clause is necessary, however, we would respectfully request that Clubs consider including the Charitable Trust in such arrangements.
Thank you for all your support in the past. Please be assured that the trustees are aware of the importance of the CFUWCT and of making careful and well informed decisions as we continue to raise money and administer funds to support the Fellowships and Awards Program of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW).
