ShEvalesco is a boots-on-the-ground organization, empowering and inspiring youth across Canada.
Our work is not possible without the generous support of public institutions, businesses, and community donors who stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us, breaking barriers and making a difference.
Current Funders
Department of Women and Gender Equality Capacity Building Fund
Awarded in 2018 for a five year funding cycle, the Department of Women and Gender Equality Capacity Building Fund allowed our green, momentum-filled organization to look strategically into the future. Through this funding, ShEvalesco was able to bring in expertise to assist with the creation of a 5-year strategic plan and take on the development and growth of a social enterprise arm of our organization.

CORPORATE SPONSOR OF UNITED FOR YOUTH: WORKPLACE READINESS AND FINANCIAL LITERACY PILLARS

Previous Program Funders
Corporate Sponsor of the “SHEVALESCO CONNECTS” PROGRAM
The ShEvalesco Connects program would not be possible without our sponsor, Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union. Moving our strength-based, fun and engaging curriculum to a pre-recorded and downloadable format, we are handing the ShEvalesco torch to BC community champions of youth who will be empowered to run their own workshops, at their own pace, in any location. Thank you Envision Financial for believing in our mission, and increasing the accessibility of our program for youth across British Columbia.
Corporate Sponsors of the “THE CLUB"
The Club would not be possible without the generous support from RBC Foundation and Diamond Foundation. Formerly known as She Can, The Club is a free, ten-month program that focuses on empowering female-identifying and non-binary young adults to develop helpful life skills and essential connections. Thank you, RBC Foundation and Diamond Foundation, for making this program possible.
Corporate Sponsor of the “Investing in YOUth" PROGRAM and "THE CLUB"
The Investing in YOUth program was made possible by the generous support of the CIBC Foundation. This project has allowed us to convert our core financial literacy programming into a prerecorded, downloadable format on an e-learning platform, handing the empowerment torch to community champions of
youth to implement at their own pace, at any location.
The CIBC Foundation also funded the first year of The Club (formerly known as She Can); a free, ten-month program that focuses on empowering female-identifying and non-binary young adults to develop helpful life skills and essential connections. Thank you, CIBC, for standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to uplift and empower youth!
Corporate Sponsors of the “I Care for Me" Program
The I Care for Me program was made possible by the following funders; Capilano University Alumni Association, #TakingITGlobal, the Government of Canada, Canada Service Corps, and Sprout Ideas Fellowship. Targeted at ages 9-12 and in a fully accessible, downloadable and pre-recorded format, the I Care for Me program is in it’s second year of running and has included topics such as; Self-Care, Failing Up, Body Image, Boundary Setting, and more.
COVID-19 Emergency Community Support Fund
Thanks to the generous support of the COVID-19 Emergency Community Support Fund, ShEvalesco was able to educate and empower over 350 youth across Canada from July through November, 2020. Weekly, online workshops fostered community and peer-connectedness during this time of social isolation, and immersed this population of youth in key life skill development programming.
The COVID-19 Emergency Community Support Fund also supported our Girls Who LEAP partnership program, including: direct services for youth (hot meals, snacks, clothing, back-to-school supplies, grocery gift cards and transportation); the development and printing of curriculum workbooks; and weekly programming focusing on peer connectedness, peer-mentor connectedness, mental health, resiliency, volunteerism and cultural training.
Thank you for believing in the work that we do to empower youth!
