About Muskoka Womens Advocacy Group

Overview

Muskoka Womens Advocacy Group (MWAG) is a community organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for women in Muskoka. Since 1984 MWAG has been the sponsoring agency for a number of projects designed to benefit women and their families. It is most noted for operating the Muskoka Interval House, in Bracebridge, a 15 bed shelter for women and their children fleeing domestic abuse and since 2006 Chrysalis, a 10 bed shelter with 10 supportive housing units in Huntsville. Associated programs designed to educate the public about violence prevention and assist those who have experience violence are offered throughout Muskoka. These include non-residential counselling for women and children on an individual and group basis and support for women involved in the legal system. MWAG is the lead agency in our Community Coordinating Committee (DART-Domestic Assault Review Team). The shelters do a vigorous recycling of clothing and household items by accepting donations and offering them to those in need.

Mission

To advocate for better life opportunities and increased options for women in Muskoka and to encourage recognition of the value of women in society.

Vision

MWAG strives to prevent abuse and violence against women by ensuring that women feel heard, validated, empowered, respected, and supported in the choices they make. They believe in recognizing the strength of every woman and offering a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

Unique Value Proposition

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.
