Marking Milestones and Igniting Change

As ACWS’s signature fundraising event, Gifts of Hope raises crucial funds to support our programs and services, including training and advocacy for the shelter sector, increased access and support for survivors of gender-based violence, and our violence prevention programming.

The Gifts of Hope 2024 Gala includes a gourmet plated meal, inspiring guest speakers and other engaging installations to keep you entertained all evening. The gala also includes a curated silent auction with items from some of Edmonton's finest shops and businesses and a raffle to keep the giving atmosphere light and fun!

Turn back the clock and dust off your best 80's-themed attire for an unforgettable evening of charitable giving and fun!

Together we are stronger and with your support. We can make a difference for those experiencing gender-based violence in Alberta.

We hope to see you there!

Organized by

Alberta Council of Women's Shelters

A registered charity, ACWS is the provincial network organization of domestic violence shelters in Alberta. We bring four decades of experience and knowledge to serve our 40 members operating over 50 shelters across the province for women, their children, and seniors facing domestic abuse. We advocate for ACWS members and work with them to end domestic violence through culture-shifting violence prevention programs, collective data and research, and front-line training. With support from ACWS, Alberta shelters are helping to provide safety, support families, and improve communities.
