CFUW Today
CFUW (formerly the Canadian Federation of University Women) is a self-funded, national organization of over 6,700 women and
90 Clubs located in every province in Canada, founded in 1919. CFUW Clubs and members work to improve the status of women in all their diversity by promoting public education, human rights, social justice, and peace in Canada and abroad.
Our Clubs grant over $1 million a year in scholarships and awards, and work actively in their communities to advance our mission of achieving equality and social justice through continuous learning and empowerment.
CFUW holds special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and is the largest affiliate of Graduate Women International.
