Our efforts are backed by a commitment to 100% local impact. This means funds raised locally are put to work to help those most in need, right here – in the heart of Canada’s capital.
Conquering local issues
Ottawa: Our nation’s capital
Ottawa: Our nation’s capital. A place where languages unite. A diverse and vibrant mix of neighbourhoods. A city built by innovators, artists, visionaries, dedicated public servants, volunteers and philanthropists.
But even though Ottawa is as great place to live for many people, it’s also home to thousands of individuals and families who find it difficult to get by. Some face poverty, others feel isolated, and many struggle with their mental health.
The issues affecting our community’s most vulnerable people can’t be solved in isolation. That’s why we work with individuals, agencies, companies and government leaders to harness our city’s collective strengths and address widespread social issues.
We know that together, we can change lives.
