The day marks the historic and current work of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) in addressing issues of importance to women and supporting higher education. CFUW is represented by clubs in Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Yorkton, as well as e-members in Regina and Moose Jaw.

Saskatchewan members are also a part of the national CFUW organization, which includes 6,500 members from 94 clubs across Canada.

In Saskatoon, the largest club in the province provides numerous scholarships for University of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Polytechnic students.

In Yorkton, the club founded in 1954 has worked on many initiatives including establishing the Yorkton Public Library, donations to local organizations, and scholarships for local high schools, the college and the Yorkton Music Festival.
