The focus is on building resilience, poverty mitigation, equity in philanthropy and social innovation.

The truth about breast cancer is the financial burden can be just as devastating as the physical and emotional impact. That's why the Breast Cancer Support Fund reduces the financial burden of patients who are living in poverty while in treatment. Funds raised directly support breast cancer patients.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

For over 40 years, the Cambridge Food Bank has provided vital food and support to individuals and community groups throughout Cambridge and North Dumfries. Their mission extends beyond emergency food aid to include comprehensive food security initiatives, family support programs, and a diverse Wellness Hub.                                                                                                                                                                                      

Founded in 1988, Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region is a charitable organization working toward a world where everyone has a decent place to live. In Waterloo Region, 1 in 4 households lacks a decent, affordable place to live making them at risk of falling into a cycle of poverty. Our model of affordable homeownership bridges a gap for lower-income, working families by providing them with the opportunity to purchase their own Habitat home.
