ReferToHer & LEAF Partner for 5th Consecutive Year to Advance Gender Equity

ReferToHer® is proud to once again team up with the Women’s Legal Education & Action Fund’s (LEAF) as their exclusive matching donor for their annual Giving Tuesday fundraiser.

On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, we will be matching up to $17,500 of all donations made to LEAF to aid in their important work towards advancing equality for women, girls, trans, and non-binary people across Canada, and all those who experience gender discrimination.

Ruth Goba, Executive Director at LEAF, had this to say about the partnership: “We are thrilled to have Lenczner Slaght and their ReferToHer® program as partners year-after-year for Giving Tuesday. Their support, along with many generous donors, has had a significant impact on LEAF’s work in the fight for gender justice. Together, we will continue driving progress.”

Sana Halwani, Partner and Founder of ReferToHer®, adds: “For 40 years, LEAF has driven meaningful change in advancing gender equity through landmark victories and courageous advocacy. We are honoured to support their mission, and we encourage all ReferToHer® listees and allies to donate to ensure their important work continues. We will make sure every dollar you contribute has double the impact.”

Tomorrow, help LEAF reach their $35,000 goal by donating here!
