The QWI, Counties and Branches raise funds primarily through member volunteers who organize craft shows, flea markets, garage sales, white elephant sales and bake sales.
We also very grateful to our generous donors, many of whom are members.
We are currently raising funds for the following projects.
Scholarships, Bursaries and Prizes
This is an ongoing effort.
The QWI supports scholarships, bursaries and prizes to students from elementary to university.
Recipients are involved in farming and agriculture, or any other discipline according to the annual applications received.
Writing contests are around themes that illustrate our motto, "For Home and Country."

Leave a Legacy
Have you ever thought about leaving a legacy gift to the QWI in your will?
Legacy gifts allow the QWI to develop and launch special projects and new scholarships, help families and communities in need, and help secure our future.
Talk to your financial advisor or notary to find out how easy it is to leave a legacy, "For Home and Country."
To donate, please contact your Branch president or treasurer, or the QWI treasurer.
