Provincial and Federal Governments have drastically cut funding for Women's Centres and Programs in recent years!
 The Richmond Women's Resource Centre has been working in our community actively providing information, peer counseling, and programs relating to women's needs since 1976. One member of the original dynamic dozen is still on the Board of Directors.
Our Centre applies for funding to support a variety of programs. Most funding from provincial or federal government sources is only available for specific project costs, not for day to day operation costs. The latter we must raise in our own community. For us, this amounts to well over $50,000.

History
The Richmond Women's Resource Centre was formed in 1976 and became a non-profit association with Charitable Tax Status in 1989.
The location of the centre has varied over the years from basements, church halls, and trailers, to three different city owned houses. In 1994, along with approximately twenty other agencies, we moved into the Caring Place.
