Our Mission: Empowering Italian-Heritage Women
Alliance Donne, Italian Women of Québec brings 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.

What We Do
• Build a community of diverse, professional Italian-heritage women through networking, mentorship programs, and regular events.
• Offer opportunities for collaboration with institutions and organizations that share our values.
• Promote visibility, equity, and representation, advocating for women’s contributions to be recognized beyond cultural heritage, across society.
• Support members in their personal and professional journeys via mentorship, resources, scholarship or project grants, and events fostering growth and solidarity.

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.
