Women's Education des femmes, Spring 1994 - Vol. 11, No. 1
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Stephanie Garrow, Lynda Stokes
McGill Students for Literacy (MSL) is an independent literacy organization founded and operated by McGill University students. Its mandate is to train McGill students to tutor adults and youth in basic literacy skills and to promote awareness of illiteracy issues. MSL's tutoring services are free and all of the students involved work as volunteers.
As a final research project for an interdisciplinary seminar on Women's Studies, the authors conducted a feminist evaluation of MSL. They wanted to know the barriers to learning that women faced and whether or not MSL was meeting the needs of woman students, as well as the needs of tutors and administrators. This article is a summary of that evaluation, and of the situations of women involved in the program.

8. The National Project on Sharing Resources: (1995)
Developing Models of Collective Fundraising for National Women's and Girls' Organizations
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Mary Chrow, Suzanne Gibson, Ratna Omidvar
This Executive Summary discusses a project developed to research models, strategies, and structures for collaborative fundraising and resource development within the women's sector.
Women's groups face enormous barriers to securing adequate funding. Traditional funding sources give predominantly to gender neutral services and programming. Government funding is dwindling, presenting major challenges for the financial future for national equality-seeking women's groups.
Women's groups recognize the need to employ new fundraising strategies and reach new markets. However, they are caught in a vicious cycle. The largest obstacles to launching new fundraising initiatives include lack of staff and volunteer time and the lack of financial resources. This project was envisioned as the first step toward breaking that cycle.
