Fundraising Tips
The money you raise enables a network of agencies providing vital social services to hundreds of thousands of people throughout the city—impoverished families, children and youth, the elderly, the physically challenged, women who have been abused, the homeless and the many new immigrants who need help to realize their dreams of a better life in Canada.
Here are some tips that can help you reach out to your network of friends, family and coworkers.
