Change-makers
At The Women's Basketball Fund, we recognize the unique challenges faced by student-athletes, particularly when it comes to navigating higher education alongside athletic ambitions. The cost of tuition, textbooks, and other essential expenses can often create significant financial burdens, limiting opportunities and stifling potential — to level the playing field and ensure that talented young women have an equal chance to succeed on and off the court.

Through our grant program, we provide up to $5,000 CAD in financial assistance to selected recipients. This support can be used to cover various educational expenses, including tuition fees, textbooks, accommodation, meal plans, transportation, and more. By alleviating these financial burdens, we aim to empower female athletes to fully engage in their academic pursuits while continuing to excel in their basketball careers.

The Women's Basketball Fund was founded by a passionate team of individuals who share a deep commitment to gender equality and the advancement of women's basketball. Antonin Jadoul, Aurélie Leblanc, and Maxwell Abrahams, our visionary co-founders, bring together their diverse backgrounds, experiences, and expertise to drive our organization forward. With their collective knowledge, they have created a platform that supports young female athletes, celebrates their achievements, and fosters a sense of belonging in the world of sports. Together, we are building a community of supporters, donors, and advocates who believe in the power of women's basketball to transform lives.

We invite you to join us in our mission by donating to The Women's Basketball Fund, volunteering your time and expertise, or spreading awareness about our cause. Together, we can create a future where talented female athletes are given the resources they need to thrive, break down barriers, and become leaders in their chosen fields.

Thank you for visiting The Women's Basketball Fund. Your support makes a tangible difference in the lives of these remarkable young women, and together, we can make their dreams a reality. Join us on this journey of empowerment, equality, and endless possibilities in women's basketball.
