Foundation for Gender Equality in Health and Wellbeing

The Foundation for Gender Equality in Health and Wellbeing works to identify and address health disparities that disproportionately affect women and gender-diverse people across the GTA. The foundation provides grants to organizations that expand access to healthcare services, mental health support, and wellness programs tailored to the specific needs of these populations. It also funds research into how gender affects health outcomes and supports community education initiatives that help people understand their own health rights. By focusing on both clinical and social determinants of health, the foundation aims to reduce inequities in healthcare access and outcomes for underserved communities in North York and beyond.
