About Ishtar Women's Resource Society

Overview

Ishtar Women's Resource Society is dedicated to providing transition housing, counseling, and victim support services to stop the violence against women, children who witness abuse, community-based victim services, stage one emergency housing, and community outreach. Their programs aim to empower and support women and children who have experienced domestic violence, helping them to rebuild their lives and achieve safety and independence.

Mission

To honour, embrace and celebrate the power, resilience, courage and knowledge of all women.

Vision

The Society believes that no person should be subjected to any type of abuse. We believe that people have the right to personal autonomy; political, economic, and social equality; and the right to live free of violence and from other forms of abuse. Women's experiences, voices and wisdom are unique and vital to Society.

Unique Value Proposition

Ishtar was the first transition house in North America and has operated in the Central Fraser Valley since 1973. We currently have two transition homes in the Langley area providing comprehensive wraparound services including emergency housing, counselling, victim support services, and community outreach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

WellFunded eliminates the inefficiencies, inequities and ineffectiveness of traditional fundraising by centralizing and standardizing the process. Instead of spending time on endless grant applications, you create a single, detailed profile that philanthropists and foundations can easily discover and fund. Our other tools like our centralized due diligence tool and "2 click grants" (coming soon) build off of this core concept: that we can make things radically better by centralizing them on one common platform.

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and if your charity matches their preferences, you will automatically be notified in your dashboard, and can send your portrait onward right through to their WellFunded dashboard. Sort of like applying to a job through LinkedIn Easy Apply.

WellFunded charges philanthropists presently. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. However, we will always have a free tier. We will introduce pricing once enough active donors use the platform to influence giving.

Instead of relying on cold proposals or personal networks, WellFunded helps you get in front of philanthropists actively looking to give in your area of impact. With advanced search tools and standardized due diligence, your work speaks for itself—helping you build trust and attract new donors.

Charity profiles include leadership information, financial data, and clear funding needs. Philanthropists can also see impact reports and follow the giving activity of other donors, creating a more open and transparent ecosystem.

Yes. WellFunded prioritizes data security and does not sell or share your private information outside the platform.
