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.

CFUW Sudbury's 100th Anniversary Project
In 2019 CFUW celebrated its 100th Anniversary. In support of this occasion, CFUW Sudbury chose to make a donation to the Sudbury Youth Orchestra. A cheque for $5000 was presented to Dr. Jamie Arrowsmith at our June dinner.
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 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).
