We support individuals of all ages with a wide variety of unique strengths and capabilities.  We offer an individualized support model for each participant so that they will achieve their maximum potential and experience a full and enriched life.  In addition to our commitment to provide outstanding service to supported individuals, Hopewell also provides specialized programs for people who are living with complex needs that require medical, and/or behavioural supports.

What is a Third-Party Fundraiser?

Third-party fundraisers are initiatives or events organized by businesses, community organizations, or individuals choosing to honor the work and mission of Hopewell and the community that we serve. Third-party fundraisers are a vital resource for increasing awareness and ensuring sustainability for our organization.  

Why we need you help

The demand for specialized support in our communities is steadily increasing and has created significant concern. Community connection sits at the core of Hopewell. Your third-party fundraiser can make a significant difference for our non-profit in strengthening our support base, increasing awareness about our services, and inspiring your own connections.  With your help, additional funding could allow us to expand our supports to the community. Help us to continue to be creative in offering new and exciting respite supports services to families in our community!

 

How your help makes a difference

Hopewell offers three pillars of service:  supported living services, respite supports and recreational supports. Hopewell is committed to providing our region with a valuable community benefit – a place where families can turn to, where we can meet the unique needs of everyone with respect, compassion, and hope at its center. Your support ensures that our programming is accessible to community members for as long as they want or need them. We are proud to say that thanks to Ministry funding, many of our programs are offered free of charge to the community, to ensure that finances are never a barrier to participation. With your support, we can go above and beyond ministry funding, creating more opportunities for fulfillment, and offer exciting new programs to the community!

How we can support you:
  • Donation forms
  • Issue tax receipts, subject to Canada Revenue Agency guidelines
  • A script that helps you to share the works we do and why they should join in on our mission
  • Promotion through our website, newsletter, and social media accounts

We couldn't provide our community with the individualized supports they need without our amazing donors who help us raise funds. Join Hopewell and set up your own fundraiser today!
