The Women's Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) Foundation is an incorporated, registered charitable foundation. The Foundation operates independently from LEAF through its own board of directors. Established in 1989, the Foundation ensures that there is an independent and long-term source of funds to advance the human and civil rights of women.

The LEAF Foundation holds an investment portfolio comprised of bequests, endowed gifts and significant corporate donations. From the earnings on its investments, the LEAF Foundation annually grants funds to LEAF. The grants meet some of LEAF's operating and program needs; LEAF's annual fundraising campaign supports the rest.

Thank you to all of the donors who have contributed to the LEAF Foundation's endowment campaign and to all who volunteer to make it happen.

FAQ about the LEAF Foundation

What is the role of the LEAF Foundation in fundraising for LEAF?

The LEAF Foundation does not actively fundraise or solicit funds on behalf of LEAF. LEAF Foundation accepts bequests or endowed gifts from donors who wish to leave a lasting legacy in support of LEAF's work.

Can the LEAF Foundation meet all of LEAF's financial needs?

LEAF, like most charities, needs significantly more operating funds than the LEAF Foundation has the capacity to provide. LEAF relies on its on-going annual donors to sustain the costs of carrying out LEAF's work each year.

How do I leave a bequest or an endowed gift to the LEAF Foundation?

Gifts to the LEAF Foundation can be made via the LEAF office by contacting LEAF at the Director of Fund Development at (416) 595-7170 who will discuss the giving options with you.
