CWIM Connect- Program Guidance Document

 

CWIM Connect provides funding for events for women+ physicians. We value all members of the healthcare team, but events which include male physicians or multidisciplinary team members are beyond our mandate. To apply for support from CWIM Connect, please click the Application link below. 

 

The application must be completed and submitted by a CWIM Partner. Current members of the Board of Directors and Leadership Council are ineligible to apply.

 

Please note that we are not accepting applications for virtual viewing events (such as the CWIM Gather virtual conference), or for events that involve any form of self-promotion, including personal business endeavours. 

 

Applications will be evaluated based on the proposed event's potential to positively impact women+ physicians. Eligible events may include activities focused on networking, education, wellness, charity, advocacy, or honouring fellow women+ physicians. Be sure that your application clearly outlines how your event will support local women+ physicians.

 

Applications are assessed quarterly, with deadlines set for the 15th of January, April, July, and October. For your event to be considered, it must not be scheduled within 30 days following the application deadline, as the CWIM Connect committee requires time to evaluate submissions.

 

Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the CWIM Connect committee. Applicants will be notified the following month regarding the support available for their event (for instance, applications received by January 15th will receive notifications in February).

 

All events that receive support will be required to submit a signed Agreement, a completed Event Attendance Sheet and a Post-Event Survey to CWIM Connect. For events that receive financial support, 50% of the funding will be released upon receiving the signed Agreement before the event takes place. The remaining 50% will be provided once CWIM Connect obtains the Event Attendance Sheet and the Post-Event Survey. 

 

Any changes to the event after submission must be communicated to and approved by CWIM to maintain eligibility for funding. Communications must be sent via email to hello@cwimorg.com

 

Any advertising that references CWIM or uses our logo must receive prior approval.

 

CWIM Connect is committed to supporting as many events as possible. We appreciate the dedication of all applicants in their efforts to enhance the lives of women+ physicians.
