Our Fundraising Initiatives: Empowering People and Communities

Our core mission is to provide essential support to low-income individuals and families who struggle to afford basic necessities such as housing and groceries. We are dedicated to mobilizing resources through diverse fundraising strategies to sustain and expand our impactful initiatives.

1. Donations and Grants

We actively seek donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations, tailoring our outreach to align with potential donors' interests. Simultaneously, we apply for grants from government entities and private institutions, leveraging this funding to support our various initiatives across Canada.

We offer membership programs that provide an opportunity for individuals to contribute to our organization through annual fees. In return, members enjoy a range of benefits, such as informative newsletters, access to exclusive events, and special discounts.

5. Crowdfunding and Online Campaigns, Canada

Utilizing popular platforms like GoFundMe, Kickstarter, and social media, we launch crowdfunding and online campaigns to reach a wide audience. This strategy encourages small donations from a large number of people, directly engaging our community of supporters in our fundraising efforts.

Grassroots fundraising involves local efforts like bake sales, car washes, and neighborhood events. These initiatives harness the power of community engagement to raise funds and awareness for a worthy cause.
