GivingTuesday is the world’s largest generosity

GivingTuesday is the world’s largest generosity movement. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good.

Over the past nine years it has since grown into a global movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

GivingTuesday is a time when Canadians, charities, and businesses come together to celebrate giving and participate in activities that support charities and non-profits; to thank, help, give, show kindness, and share what they have with those in need. Every act of generosity counts. Everybody has something to give.

This is the first year that Lean In Canada is an officially registered participant in #GivingTuesday. We are raising funds this year to honour and recognize our 10 years as a volunteer driven Non-profit in Canada.

If you or your organization are able to donate or would like to get involved in our work, please contact us at info@leanincanada.com.

We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Famil

We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

She was the second-longest reigning monarch in history and ruled for 70 years.

Our thoughts are with the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

A huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to our outgoing pre

A huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to our outgoing president, Angela Payne, for all of her hard work, dedication, support, care and passion that she has given to this board in the past two (very tricky and at times, difficult) years. Always with a smile on her face, Angela has been a fervent champion for this community of Canadian women and we are indebted to her for pushing Lean In Canada into it's post-pandemic future. We will miss you dearly and to quote the women herself, let's all "be big and take up lots of space!" in her honour.
