Celebrating, Connecting, and Empowering Italian-Heritage Women in Québec

Alliance Donne, Italian Women of Québec is a non-profit organization, the first of its kind, dedicated to representing women of Italian heritage in Québec and Canada. We highlight and support their contributions and interests across many sectors through conferences, networking events, mentorship programs, and cultural projects.

Our Mission:

To bring together women of Italian heritage across Québec and Canada, fostering connection, dialogue, and empowerment. We serve as a platform to highlight, support, and celebrate their contributions in arts and culture, entrepreneurship, academia, and professional fields.

Our Purpose:

For decades, individuals of Italian descent have contributed to the social, cultural, and economic fabric of Québec and Canada. Yet the stories, achievements, and experiences of women from the Italian diaspora have often remained undocumented or undervalued. Alliance Donne exists to change that.

Our Vision:

To empower Italian-heritage women in Canada to lead, create, and be heard and to contribute to a more inclusive, equitable, and culturally rich society, today and for future generations.
