About

The Forum is a registered Canadian charity where self-identifying women, non-binary and trans-femme entrepreneurs thrive—regardless of where they are, their industry, or the size or stage of their business.

We care about the impact we have, at both the community and national level. Our commitment is to grow the Canadian economy, one woman-owned business at a time.

Since 2002, we’ve provided support to more than 14,000 self-identifying women entrepreneurs nationally—and this is just the beginning.

The Forum’s community is comprised of Canadian women at all stages of entrepreneurship—whether they’re just beginning to explore an idea, or have already established their business and are looking for new avenues of growth. 

With versatile programming that’s catered to all types of businesses, The Forum enables entrepreneurs across all industries to make their vision a reality with actionable insights, personalized guidance, resources on how to access capital, and the enthusiastic support of fellow community members. 

Entrepreneurship can be lonely, but with the inspiring women leaders and generous contributors who make up The Forum community, it doesn’t have to be.
