Congratulations to Sadia Khaf - Winner of IEEE Canada 2022 Women in Engineering Prize

This prize is sponsored by the Judy Clift Fund at the IEEE Canadian Foundation which was established to honour a gracious individual who believed strongly in gender equality. Her professional life as a special education teacher and administrator complemented her role as a mother who was determined to raise her daughters with independence and encouraged them to pursue career opportunities that were not limited by gender. She was also incredibly supportive of volunteer IEEE activities.

The purpose is to recognize excellence in young women engineering professionals and to support the Women In Engineering programme within IEEE in Canada. We encourage anyone who supports these objectives to direct additional donations to this fund to increase the value of the annual award.

All female IEEE Canada members who received their first professional degree within the last fifteen years and who are active in IEEE activities. There is one prize each year, value $1,000.

Gift of Securities to the IEEE Canadian Foundation – Invest in Scholarships and Grants to Canadians

A gift of securities is a very cost-effective way of supporting the IEEE Canadian Foundation, immediately or though a gift bequest in your will.

With a donation of publicly traded securities you will receive a charitable gift tax receipt for the full market value of your gift. This avoids you incurring Canadian capital gains tax since the securities are transferred intact to the Foundation.

Gifts of securities must be arranged by electronic transfer between your investment broker and the Foundation broker.

As you consider a gift of securities, we can work with you and your advisors to receive your gift. Please request our GIFT of Publicly Traded Securities form, available upon request from the Treasurer (l.matteau@ieee.org).

COVID-19: The IEEE Canadian Foundation remains committed to supporting our programs, donors and grantees. Thank you for your ongoing support during these unusual and challenging times.

IEEE Canadian Foundation is a registered charity in Canada and a public foundation. All Canadian individual donors receive CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) approved tax receipts.
