The Goddess Foundation was founded by Carlen Costa in 2018.
This charitable foundation* is the empowerment of women and girls in Canada by funding organizations and projects that seek to:
-
Ending gender based violence
-
Creating more women in leadership opportunities
-
Positive and healthy body image programming
-
Sexual & mental health initiatives
The Foundation embraces an inclusive definition of women and girls that includes people who identify as women, girls, trans, genderqueer and gender non-binary.
As this foundation begins to build and inspire change in our communities, I look forward to sharing more information with you.

Projects we've funded so far:
In December 2021, we executed our first mini-fundraiser for Anova London a women/womxn's shelter, sexual assault support and resources for womxn/women. We were able to raise $1400 with our POWER 4 Anova clothing collection. (seen in gallery above)
Anova provides safe places, shelter, support, counselling, and resources for abused women, their children, and all oppressed individuals to find a new start.See more information here: anovafuture.org
We are currently fundraising for our general fund and for The Women in Entrepreneurship grant that we are seeking to establish and partner with a corporate entity to provide matching funds.
