As chair of the WIM Fund Advisory Committee, I am very proud of every member of this giving circle. Their commitment translates to a concrete impact in the community, and I congratulate all those who make this impact possible on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The WIM Fund was born from the realization that community organizations dedicated to the well-being of women and girls were not receiving their fair share of support. In response, we decided to develop a philanthropic fund led by women, for women.<\/p>\n<p>In this spirit, many members of the WIM Fund had the privilege of celebrating Janette Bertrand, in the presence of this great cultural figure, on the eve of her one hundredth birthday, on March 24 of this year. What Ms. Bertrand has achieved throughout her long public life, including the causes she actively champions to this day, continue to inspire generations of women in Quebec. Values such as hers guide the WIM Fund. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/fgmontreal\/albums\/72177720324844760\/with\/54427881767\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to see photos of the event.<\/p>\n<h5>A look back and a call to action<\/h5>\n<p>In the Fund\u2019s four years of existence, we have granted a total of nearly $1 million to Greater Montreal organizations that work directly for the well-being and advancement of women and girls and the defence of their rights. <a href=\"https:\/\/fgmtl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/FAM_ON2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to find out more about the WIM Fund\u2019s operations and impact.<\/p>\n<p>In closing, if our mission speaks to you, I would encourage you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imakeanonlinedonation.org\/fgm\/730010\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">become a member<\/a> of the WIM Fund or to renew your membership\u2014while reminding you that our fund accepts donations from anyone.
