– Peter Nicholson, the Founder and President of the Foundation (WCPD), on taking a more strategic approach to giving

The evolution of philanthropy Despite being one of society’s oldest practices, there is so much that’s new in the art of giving.

Here in Ottawa, a dynamic charitable sector is driving innovation thanks to the hard work of the city’s enthusiastic AFP Ottawa Chapter, numerous foundations and nonprofits, a diverse range of community initiatives as well as countless individual volunteers. Philanthropy is part of who we are, and our passion for giving is reflected across the country.

At their very core, Canadians are an inclusive, forward-thinking and charitable group. We often think beyond ourselves. We believe in social justice. We embrace what’s needed for the common good.

According to a recent discussion paper by Imagine Canada, the national charitable and nonprofit sector employs approximately two million people and amounts to up to eight per cent of GDP. Make no mistake: It is an industry onto itself and, like any industry, it must evolve to meet the challenges of the future.

Armed with a rich history and tradition, the fundraising sector across this country is marching forward.

As society evolves, so do its philanthropic habits. While our needs have never been greater, fundraising professionals are seeking new ways to increase donations, inspire volunteerism and promote community involvement. The sector is grappling with how to entice and retain the best talent in their foundations and organizations. The need for leadership and unity has never been greater.

It is with these thoughts in mind that the inaugural Ottawa Giving Guide is born.

A celebration of Ottawa’s charitable sector A joint venture between the Ottawa Business Journal, the Foundation (WCPD) and AFP Ottawa Chapter, this annual resource is a rallying cry for those who are passionate about giving in our great city.

Inside, you will find important information on many of the foundations and nonprofits working hard day-in and day-out to make our home a better place. The Foundation (WCPD), founding partner and sponsor of the guide, was pleased to underwrite this cost to make the listings as inclusive as possible.

Sprinkled throughout the guide you will also find articles on what is new, exciting and interesting in Ottawa in the realm of philanthropy.

Our hope is that the Giving Guide helps to share the AFP message and mission to the public, connects Ottawa’s business and not-for-profit communities as well as celebrating some of the cross-sector partnerships already in play.

Ultimately, we’d like to see our community build on its culture of philanthropy, providing recognition to the sponsors, donors and volunteers already engaged, and to shine a light on the various organizations providing much-needed charitable services.

The Ottawa Giving Guide is a celebration of our charitable sector as well as the beliefs and virtues that make us Canadian. It is a voice for good and a catalyst for change.

As you read through the guide, we encourage all of our citizens to consider how they can get more involved to make our city a better place. In the end, OBJ, the Foundation (WCPD) and AFP Ottawa hope that the Ottawa Giving Guide helps unify all that is good in our nation’s capital and beyond.

Ottawa insights Data to support and empower evidence-based decisions and actions GRAPHS AND ANALYSIS COURTESY OF THE OTTAWA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

T

he Ottawa Community Foundation has created Ottawa Insights, an online community knowledge centre that brings together and helps connect key information and intelligence on status, trends and conditions across a broad range of issues affecting quality of life in Ottawa.

The information is intended to support and empower evidence-based decisions and actions. Building from data to information to knowledge and bringing it all together helps to facilitate evidence-based decision making for OCF’s own grant-making and for its donors, as well as for other granting organizations.

More broadly, OCF’s goal is to support shared understanding and strategic collaboration by donors, funders, policy makers, delivery agencies and citizens working towards a vibrant, caring and equitable city.

BASIC NEEDS AND STANDARD OF LIVING

of slight decline. Despite a boost in 2014, minimum wage income is still slightly below what it was in 2010 in terms of actual spending power.

Income on Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP), once adjusted for inflation, has essentially remained flat over the past seven years.

Ottawa is a wealthy city in a wealthy country. Yet there are still tens of thousands of people in our city who are either homeless or live in inadequate housing. Many Ottawa residents cannot meet their daily food needs. Some also miss opportunities and even critical appointments because they cannot afford transportation.

Many residents live in low income

Income growth While overall income has grown, so has the gap between the highest income earners and others.

In 2014, the median after-tax income for the highest 10 per cent of earners was $90,300. It was $29,700 for the other 90 per cent of earners.

Although Ottawa is a relatively wealthy city, large segments of the population live on low income.

Immigrants, Indigenous people and those living with disabilities are all disproportionately represented in the low-income population. Mental health or addiction issues and chronic physical illnesses also increase the risk of living on low income.

Those living with low income in rural areas often experience greater challenges in accessing affordable transportation and services.

Median income levels in Ottawa have been growing for most income brackets, but income has risen more for top earners. The income gap between the top earning 10 per cent and the remaining 90 per cent increased by almost 185 per cent between 1982 and 2014.

Incomes on social assistance are far from adequate Income from social assistance in Ontario (Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program) is not sufficient to cover even shelter and food costs in Ottawa. A minimum wage earner with a partner and two dependents fairs modestly better once benefits are claimed, but would still have very little left for

HOUSING transportation, clothing and other items after paying housing and food costs.

Income has grown for minimum wage earners, but not for those on social assistance Minimum wages grew, in real-dollar terms, between 2007 and 2010. This was followed by a three-year period

High housing costs and low rental vacancy rates make it hard for people to transition out of homelessness, or to move from inadequate housing. Research shows that providing the support needed to prevent homelessness and to keep people housed is actually cost effective to society as a whole.

Reliance on shelters has grown significantly over the past decade 500K

400K

300K

The number of individuals and families using Ottawa's shelters has come down from a peak in 2012, though there was an uptick for both in 2015. The average length of stay grew steadily from 2006 to 2014. So total number of "bed nights" began rising dramatically in 2006, and has stayed consistently high in recent years.

Longer shelter stays suggest a growing challenge in transitioning homeless people into permanent housing. A modest decline in length of stay in 2015, accompanied by a slight drop in total shelter bed usage, is attributed to steps taken in line with the city’s 2013 Housing and Homelessness Plan, to begin transitioning individuals with long histories in emergency shelters into permanent housing.

Shelters are part of a larger social housing landscape that also includes transitional housing, supportive housing and/or affordable housing. There are about 55 social housing organizations in Ottawa, widely varying in size and mandate.

Unmet demand for affordable housing

repair) that have not registered on the RGI waiting list. In 2011 in Ottawa, 27.7 per cent of single parent families, 25.6 per cent of Inuit, and 30.7 per cent of recent immigrants lived in unaffordable or inadequate housing.

Ottawa’s low vacancy rate contributes to affordability challenges.

This highlights a broader failure to address the root causes of food insecurity. According to a recent report from the Ontario Association of Food Banks, the average food bank client spends 70 per cent of their income on rent, leaving very little for all other necessities. The number of seniors using food banks in Ontario has also jumped dramatically.

Amount spent on shelter puts large percentage of households at risk

Food security affects many residents

Especially in the lower-income neighbourhoods of the city, a high proportion of households spend over 30 per cent of their income on shelter. When low-income households spend high proportions of their income on shelter, it can put a squeeze on their ability to adequately provide for other necessities, such as food.

Research indicates that households spending 50 per cent or more on shelter are at greater risk of becoming homeless.

FOOD Beyond being an obvious physical necessity, food is intertwined with our family and social lives, with culture, and with the local economy. In spite of Ottawa’s well-stocked grocery stores, getting enough nutritious food remains a challenge for many people.

The most common cause of food insecurity is inadequate income. Other factors include distance to grocery stores, disabilities that make it hard to acquire and prepare foods, and lack of access to familiar and culturally appropriate foods.

Inadequate food and poor nutrition can impair physical, mental and emotional well-being and functions. In 2014, 16.7 per cent of children in Canada lived in food insecure households. These children are at higher risk of going to school without eating breakfast.

Research has shown that daily nutritious breakfasts result in better student performance and school attendance.

Cost of food, other basic needs has risen sharply

Reliance on the Ottawa Food Bank has grown

Most of the affordable housing supply in Ottawa is rentgeared-to-income (RGI) units within not-for-profit developments that are specifically built and operated to support affordability. Affordable housing can also be provided by the private sector, or be under cooperative ownership.

The RGI waiting list includes those whose current housing is unaffordable or inadequate, and those who are homeless. At more than 10,300 households, the list is the longest since 2004. And there are many more Ottawa households living in unaffordable or inadequate housing (too small or in need of major

Canada’s food banks were originally set up as temporary measures in response to a downturn in the economy. They now number more than 800 across Canada. The Ottawa Food Bank opened in 1984. Like many others, it has been working to develop new approaches to improve food security. But the graph shows that reliance on the Ottawa Food Bank has grown significantly in recent years.

Over the past 10 years, costs for food and shelter have risen much more than the average cost of all consumer items taken together. Households must spend a larger proportion of their income to cover these basic needs.

In 2016, an Ottawa couple with two children relying on an Ontario needs allowance, would have had to spend 39 per cent of their monthly allowance to meet the cost of a healthy diet, while the average Ontarian in 2015 spent about 10 per cent of their total expenditures on food.

COVER STORY

With more than $100M in giving, the Foundation (WCPD), based here in Ottawa, assists high-end donors by taking a more strategic approach to philanthropy

W

hen it comes to his charitable giving, Dr. Pradeep Merchant isn’t satisfied with the status quo.

As the Site Chief for the Division of Neonatology at The Ottawa Hospital (Civic Campus), Dr. Merchant watches over society’s most vulnerable population: premature babies, often with serious medical complications. It’s a calling that goes beyond simply showing up to work.

It perhaps comes as no surprise that he also feels compelled to give back to the neonatal program, among other worthy causes, through targeted donations. And that doesn’t mean handing over a cheque and receiving a tax receipt in the mail.

Instead, after being introduced to the concept almost a decade ago, Dr. Merchant took a strategic approach to his charitable giving. He started thinking about philanthropy differently.

Foundation helps donors

‘think bigger’ “From a healthcare perspective, we may end up getting capital dollars from the government, but it is never enough,” he said.

“We can’t solely rely on government. Even if the walls get constructed, you require so much more to become a world-class medical centre. Public engagement and strategic philanthropy become essential tools, in my mind. There is no question we need to engage people more on this topic.”

The Foundation (Wealth, Creation, Preservation & Donation - WCPD), headquartered in Ottawa since 1991, does exactly that – educating and assisting Canada’s generous donors to give many times more than they normally would, with donations going towards their charity of choice.

While it might seem like something completely new, or perhaps even too good to be true, the Foundation (WCPD) has been helping Canadians get the most out of their donations for more than a decade.

Michel Tilsley, a Director at the Foundation, states “our usual donor’s cost (which includes all fees) to donate a dollar is 15 cents, not the standard 50-cent cost after tax savings. This means most of our donors will donate three times more, or $3, for no additional cost.”

Through its philanthropic tax planning strategy, the Foundation (WCPD) has issued more than 4,500 cheques to charities, been included in over 3,400 personal tax return filings since 2006 and

“We want philanthropy to really make an impact and create change.

We care about the return on investment.”

Flow-through shares, issued by junior Canadian mining companies, are an essential ingredient in philanthropic tax planning strategies. Since 1954, the government has provided significant tax deductions for this sector to bolster economic growth, employment and development of the north.

facilitated north of $100 million to charities all across Canada.

But beyond the numbers and cents, the Foundation (WCPD) operates under a simple principle: you and the charity deserve more.

“We want philanthropy to really make an impact and create change. We care about the return on investment (ROI),” said Peter Nicholson, the President and Founder of the Foundation (WCPD). “First and foremost, giving back comes from the heart. Tax savings seem a low priority, right? But should it be? Our clients are among the most successful and generous people in society. Most want to know – what is the best and most tax efficient way to give?

And the best way to give is through public flow-through shares with a liquidity provider.”

Unlocking tax benefits Here’s how it works.

Since 1954, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has offered a 100-per-cent tax deduction on flow-through shares, which are stock issued by junior mining (and oil/ gas) companies in Canada to fund drilling and exploration.

Most mining occurs in the north, an area with a sparse population and limited employment opportunities. Taking advantage of Canada’s vast, mineral-rich frontier makes sense on several levels. Apart from the obvious tax benefits to the government should an exploration drilling hit the jackpot, mining companies assist in the development of remote areas in Canada, while offering good jobs to those that live there. For example, mining is the No. 1 employer among Aboriginals.

To unlock the tax benefits, clients purchase these public flow-through shares and then immediately sell them at a discount to an institutional buyer, or liquidity provider, for cash. This liquidity provider takes on the stock market risk, not our donors – one of the key benefits. The donors give the cash proceeds of the sale to the charities of their choice and receive another 100-per-cent tax deduction for this donation.

In effect, donors are supporting Canada’s mining industry and charities by combining two distinct tax policies so they can reduce tax and give much more to a cause that touches their heart. The Foundation (WCPD) takes care of the entire process, from beginning to end.

“I like to think about it as the ability to pay your taxes to your favourite charities,” Nicholson added. “You get to be the prime minister for the day and decide where some of your tax dollars are going.”

Some of the Foundation’s clients have their own private

How it works:

STEP 2:

STEP 3:

THE RESULT:

Buy flow-through shares issued by a Canadian mining company. Every dollar invested in these shares is 100% tax deductible

Immediately sell these shares to a pre-arranged buyer (liquidity provider) at a pre-arranged contractual price for cash. This step eliminates any stock market risk to the donor.

Donate the cash proceeds to your favourite charity.

Receive a charitable tax receipt based on the cash value.

By combining two tax policies (flow-through shares and donations), the Foundation (WCPD) can help reduce your taxes and allow you to usually give three times more at no additional cost.

foundations to distribute the funds. For Dr. Merchant, he takes advantage of the public WCPD Foundation, a registered “donor advised” foundation that easily disperses his cash donations from the cash proceeds of the flowthrough sale in an efficient manner based on his direction.

Anytime he wants to make a donation to a charity, whether big or small, he contacts an associate at the Foundation (WCPD) to carry out the transaction. There is no deadline or specified time period to disburse all his cash flowthrough donations to his favourite charities, and no additional fee for using the Foundation’s services. The client can even give his or her foundation a unique name, like the Johnson Family Foundation, for example, which would then rest under the umbrella of the Foundation (WCPD).

In addition to individual donations, the Foundation (WCPD) has also assisted larger fundraising initiatives. A few years ago, when Winnipeg’s Museum for Human Rights needed a boost to raise millions from Canadian donors, this tax structure helped get the project’s fundraising goal across the finish line. The Foundation (WCPD) serves as an innovative tool in the fundraising toolbox.

Twinkle Gala In Ottawa, the Foundation (WCPD) was a proud supporter of Twinkle Gala, held this past summer. Organized by Dr. Merchant, The Ottawa Hospital’s chief of obstetrics Dr. George Tawagi and Lift charitable foundation co-founder Gary Zed, the event raised significant funds towards the rebuilding of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

The evening attracted many of the city’s biggest names in philanthropy and business. Taking on a whimsical theme of Alice in Wonderland, guests strolled through an elaborate time portal and were greeted by characters in costume, colourful decorations, world-class musical entertainment and a harvest-style spread of food prepared by local chefs.

The Twinkle Gala very much reflects Dr. Merchant’s mantra of unique public engagement and strategic giving.

The Twinkle Gala, held last June at a private home in Rockcliffe, brought together many of the city’s leaders to help raise significant funds for the updated neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Ottawa Hospital’s general campus. Many of these donors use the Foundation’s philanthropic tax planning strategies to increase what they can give to the cause.

It was a grassroot effort to close in on the $5 million needed in the community, with the other $5 million to be matched by the government. Many of the donations from the event have taken advantage of WCPD’s philanthropic tax planning structure to get the most out of those charitable dollars.

“It’s about thinking differently. Thinking bigger,” Dr.

Merchant said. “And we need to educate people, but also educate the accountants as well.”

n the hot blazing sun, 15-year-old Cameron Williams peddled and peddled in his flipflops up the spine of Exuma, Bahamas.

His old, rickety BMX bike scraped the edge of the road where pavement met asphalt. He teetered, but never fell. Older boys in the back of a support vehicle shouted and encouraged the younger boy. Cameron hit another edge, and one of his shoes fell off.

The support vehicle stopped. But Cameron kept his head down. He just peddled. One of the boys picked the shoe up off the road, tossing it in the back of the truck.

Cameron was the last to finish the 40-kilometre community ride at the latest Tour de Turquoise, an annual fundraiser that last took place last February. But finish he did, despite the loss of a shoe.

This boy’s determination to cross the finish line is just one inspiring moment among many others on the island of Exuma. It is here, on a

stunning archipelago in the Atlantic, that a new foundation, led by Canadians, is working hard to uplift this community for the better.

The Exuma Foundation of Canada (EFC), founded by GIV Bahamas Inc., is unique in that it offers tax receipts to generous Canadian donors.

The island is a popular spot for Canadians, whether it be tourists or second home owners.

The influx of Canucks is helped in part by a direct flight every Thursday and Sunday from Toronto via Air Canada Vacations.

Since 2014, the foundation has sought to improve healthcare and education on Exuma through unique, grassroot events and initiatives that inspire its people. GIV Bahamas is a hospitality and real estate company owned by Peter Nicholson, the Foundation (WCPD).

“Everything we do in business, whether it be in Canada or The Bahamas, tends to have a philanthropic twist,” said Nicholson, who is also the founder and a board member of the Exuma

up to the country’s only “ultra marathon” at a whopping 50K. While the race attracts runners from all over the world, the focus is always on the students. All students run for free and receive commemorative medals and shirts. And each year, through event proceeds and more than a dozen local sponsors, EFC awards The Pompey Scholarship to one student on Exuma so he or she can attend the college or university. For the last two years, recipients have opted to attend Acadia University on the Canadian east coast.

“I was really just stunned,” said Demi Rolle, the latest winner, who was announced on June 15th.

“Me? Really? When they called my name, I couldn’t believe it. It was really exciting. I plan to come home to Exuma, but I want to get that experience abroad as well and then perhaps open up my own pre-school when I return. I heard it is very nice in Canada and I have friends over there.”

By focusing on the island’s youth, EFC hopes to create a better future for everyone on Exuma, whether it be the Canadians who visit or those who call it home. Beyond the events, the foundation is also assisting in the construction of a shelter to house and care for abused or underprivileged children. Another new and ongoing project is the renovation of the island’s main basketball court facility.

The goal is for someone like Cameron to look to the next generation of leaders, like Demi, and aspire to reach full potential in life.

“For me, the process of helping to start a foundation abroad and watch it grow has been truly inspirational,” said Jeff Todd, Director of Communications at the Foundation (WCPD), GIV Bahamas Inc. and a board member at EFC. “When it comes to giving, I think we need to constantly push the boundaries and think outside the box. Exuma is definitely outside the box and I am really proud of the work Canadians are doing there. The island is so impressionable and you see the impact immediately. I find that very fulfilling.”

While the foundation is still in the adolescent phase, it has done a lot of growing up in just a few years.

Cameron, the 15-year-old boy who inspired so many at Tour de Turquoise, was just one of dozens of cyclists from Canada and The Bahamas that participated in the third annual event. With the next installment coming up Feb. 10, 2018, the ride has raised tens of thousands of dollars for local fundraising initiatives. It also attracts noted Canadian philanthropists to participate.

Last year, EFC purchased a special bus to help the elderly and disabled reach the island’s new hospital. For 2017, organizers have bought a stockpile of racing bikes with the ambition of starting a cycling club for Exuma’s youth.

Howard Chang, the event’s founder and EFC board member, credits the people of Exuma for embracing initiatives such as Tour De Turquoise.

“I have been a homeowner on Exuma now for several years, and one of the reasons we chose Exuma is because of its people,” said Chang, who owns an advertising firm in Toronto. “The most rewarding part has been the enthusiasm we’ve received from the community, particularly the students.”

Indeed, many of the initiatives taken up by EFC are grounded in young people.

Run for Pompey, the first annual marathon for the island, is also entering its third year this October. The race commemorates the life of a slave named Pompey, who in 1830 defied a transfer order on Exuma that would have separated 77 men, women and children from their families. Although his rebellion was eventually squashed, it is widely seen as a key moment in the Bahamian fight for freedom.

Held each year over National Heroes Day Weekend, from Oct. 6 to Oct. Exuma, an archipelago of islands in The Bahamas, has become well-known 8, Run for Pompey features in recent years by the fame of the swimming pigs. While this attraction has races for all ages, skill levels brought more prosperity to the island’s residents, the Exuma Foundation and abilities, including a 2K of Canada provides much assistance in health and education.

Continued from previous page Failing to leverage philanthropic dollars is akin to not maximizing your RRSP.

Evolution of philanthropy Traditionally, the world of philanthropy has been conservative: you make a donation, you receive a tax receipt. It’s simple. But as the world’s problems grow, and become more complex, philanthropy has grown with it.

The term “social impact investing” is now in vogue among the world’s top philanthropists, fundraisers and corporations, with names such as The Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation leading the charge. Closer to home, entities such as the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing, located in Toronto, operates under the motto: “Big problems require bold solutions.”

These organizations are bound by the common belief that savvy investments in companies or funds can pay dividends for society and also generate a financial return. Doing good for others, while also for yourself, are not mutually exclusive ideas.

This corporate approach to the charitable sector is being felt among professional fundraisers as well.

Nonprofits and foundations across Canada have become more attune to the needs of modern-day philanthropy, at a time when the sector has continued to struggle with staff retention and attracting topquality executives. Known as the “leadership gap,” the charitable sector is seeking new ideas to entice the best professionals and pay competitive salaries while also increasing the amount and size of its donations.

According to a 2015 discussion paper by Imagine Canada, the broad charitable and nonprofit sector employs around two million people, or 13 per cent of the total workforce. It went on to mention that the total sector accounted for approximately eight per cent of GDP. In other words, the charitable sector is an industry in itself, in need for constant improvement and innovation.

Nicholson agrees with Zed: Thinking differently about philanthropy requires a constant re-education on what it means to give. It means not just giving your money away, but also putting it to work. But it is a rewarding process as well, when donors give $30,000 to charity instead of $10,000, for example, or $300,000 rather than $100,000. And it feels even better when the charities receive the bigger cheque.

Donors are making tough choices on where to invest their charitable dollars. While these decisions are nothing new, more and more philanthropists are looking to take a leading role in their giving.

Philanthropists want value for money. They want to leave a legacy. And philanthropic tax planning lets donors do more, with less, without leaving any change on the table.

“Talk to some influencers in the community to get some comfort around it,” Zed explained, to those considering the structure.

“It is no different than going to a doctor or going on a diet. Ask someone: ‘What do you think of it?’ In a lot of cases, it is just a matter of getting peace of mind.

From there, it is about really just finding that time with their accountant, with their advisors, and walking them through it.”

Ottawa physicians perfect footwork at 'Dancing with Docs' fundraiser

Popular dance competition brings in $160,000 for patient care and research at The Ottawa Hospital All eyes were on a group of Ottawa doctors who performed under extremely stressful conditions, surrounded by bright lights and loud noises, and subject to constant scrutiny.

They were hard at work – not in the operating room but in the ballroom of the Hilton Lac-Leamy, participating in the third annual Dancing with the Docs competition in support of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

Drs. Amanda Roberts (breast surgeon), Lothar Huebsch (hematologist), Bonnie Weston (ophthalmologist), Philippe Phan (spine surgeon), Mark Clemons (medical oncologist), Andrea Kew (hematologist), Marcio Gomes (pathologist) and Roanne Segal (medical oncologist) have been spending their free time over the last few months learning to ballroom dance.

The physicians were partnered with Arthur Murray Dance Studio instructors, who taught them how to spin, flip and perfect their fancy footwork.

The dance competition delighted, entertained and inspired a crowd of 730 at the $195-a-ticket gala event.

The night raised $160,595 for patient care and research at The Ottawa Hospital, one of Canada’s largest learning and research hospitals. The facility has more than 1,100 beds, about 12,000 staff members and an annual budget of roughly $1.2 billion.

On stage, the docs spoke about the nerve-racking experience, with reactions ranging from terror to relief that it was over to comfort, just knowing an orthopedic surgeon was in the room, should anything have gone wrong.

Dr. Segal was the decided winner. The oncologist had raised more than $46,000, but she wasn’t alone; virtually all the participating doctors exceeded their targets by bringing in tens of thousands of dollars for patient care and research for those areas of the hospital that are close to their respective hearts. – April 2017

Hundreds start their day by raising $433K for Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation Proceeds from charity breakfast to fund local clinical trials and cancer coaching program

There’s nothing like powering up in the morning with a cancer-fighting breakfast, served with a side order of hope and inspiration.

The crowd of early risers was 500 strong as it sat down together in the ballroom of the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre for the 11th edition of the Cancer Champions Breakfast. The charity event raised $433,000 for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, bringing its grand total to date to $3.18 million.

The fundraiser was chaired by Gregory Sanders, a law partner at Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall and the head of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s board of directors.

Sanders, who lost both his parents to cancer, was helped by a committee of volunteers. They successfully recruited dozens of table captains to fill the room with guests who, in return, pledged donations.

Each table was joined by such cancer experts as medical researchers and oncologists.

The sponsored breakfast, presented by Richcraft Group of Companies, was emceed

by Mayor Jim Watson, who’s had two bouts with skin cancer.

Nearly one in two people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives.

“We cannot be a passive community,” Linda Eagen, the cancer foundation’s president and CEO, said on stage. “As a community, we have a role to play in the way we access care and the care we get, and you guys are the champions of making that possible.”

The money raised from the event is helping to support the cancer research and

There’s no room at the Ottawa Riverkeeper Gala for fairweather friends. That’s because it’s the kind of outdoor gala where one happily attends, rain or shine; it’s just that much fun.

And this year’s environmental benefit was no different, despite some scattered rain.

Some 450 attendees of the $250-a-ticket gala returned to Lemieux Island in the middle of the scenic Ottawa River.

Options for getting there included walking, biking or car shuttle.

Once there, the crowd raised a record $265,000 for the Ottawa Riverkeeper, a citizen-based action group that protects and promotes the ecological health and diversity of the Ottawa River and its tributaries.

With the forecast looking iffy, gala-goers got updates from organizers throughout the day, including a revised dress code of “riverside cozy.” That meant stilettos were out and Blundstones were in. Surprisingly, many women pulled off the "rain boot look" quite nicely.

Seen were Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and such city councillors as David Chernushenko, Tobi Nussbaum, a bow-tie wearing Tim Tierney and Michael Qaqish, as well as Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin, Environment Minister and Ottawa MP Catherine McKenna, Green Party leader Elizabeth May and Treasury Board President Scott Brison. Journalist Evan Solomon was back to host the evening while the lovely Kathleen Edwards, who is an acclaimed musician and Ottawa Riverkeeper ambassador,

performed for the crowd.

Senator Murray Sinclair, co-chair of the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry in Manitoba and chief commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, was this year’s honourary Riverkeeper. Ottawa Riverkeeper Meredith Brown and executive director Patrick Nadeau presented him with a hand-carved canoe paddle, similar to the ones given in previous years to prime ministerial wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, former sergeant at arms-turnedambassador Kevin Vickers, Governor of the Bank of Canada Stephen Poloz and his predecessor, Mark Carney.

Twinkle Gala draws business leaders, philanthropists to make fundraising history for Ottawa Hospital Tiniest, most vulnerable patients to benefit from star-studded, $5,000-a-ticket benefit at Michael Potter's mansion All the stars aligned for the Twinkle Gala, creating a magical and flawless evening that unfolded early this summer in the Rockcliffe Park backyard party paradise belonging to Ottawa tech pioneer Michael Potter.

The $5,000-a-plate gala, presented by the charitable Lift Foundation, began with more than 200 ticket-purchasers and their grateful guests strolling through a pretend portal of time to reach the Alice in Wonderland-inspired event. There, attendees discovered through the course of the whimsical evening just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Proceeds from the evening will go toward a $5-million fundraising campaign to provide the best possible care for premature and critically ill newborns at The Ottawa Hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the General campus. Organizers were hopeful that the Twinkle Gala would bring them very close to reaching the campaign goal.

The only negative to the night was the realization that there were guests in the crowd that had gone through the agonizing experience of losing a baby. Mark Shabinsky, president of Glenview, took up the cause after his grandson, Joseph, died at age five weeks, on Jan. 10, 2016, at the NICU's General campus.

Shabinsky was able to quietly collect large donations for the NICU in the months leading up to the Twinkle Twinkle Future Stars Gala, the largest third-party fundraising event ever held for The Ottawa Hospital.

The campaign, thanks to the fundraising efforts of the prominent and well-liked Shabinsky clan and to the family's own generous donation to the cause, had passed the $3-million mark prior to the Twinkle Gala.

“He took a bad situation and rather than letting my grandson die in vain he’s making a difference, so that hopefully what happened to my grandson will never happen again,” wife Lynn Shabinsky told OBJ.social.

The Shabinsky family is not alone. “When you go out and start talking with people about making donations, everybody has a story. Our story is sad, but everyone has a story,” she added.

If there’s a silver lining in all of this, it’s that Joseph’s twin brother Isaac, who was also a patient of the NICU, turned 18 months old on the evening of the gala.

The Ottawa Hospital delivers roughly 6,000 babies a year. Of that number, more than 800 end up in the NICU. – June 2017

It was the main attraction at the Shaw Centre, drawing another sold-out crowd of 1,200 for an evening of amateur-level boxing in a regulation-sized ring surrounded by bright lights and banners.

The event was presented by retired former Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson, along with CIBC Wood Gundy, Manulife Investments and Mark Motors of Ottawa, and featured special guest and Welsh boxing legend Joe ‘The Italian Dragon’ Calzaghe.

Gallant founded the event, now in its 23rd year, to help the Boys and Girls Club, a non-profit organization that offers everything from homework and computer clubs to sports and recreational activities to summer camps and academic scholarships for at-risk youth.

Ringside has raised more than $3 million to date, and organizers expected to net between $160,000 and $170,000 at this year's dinner. – June 2017

One minute, a sold-out crowd of 600 is sitting itself down in a ballroom for dinner and, the next, it’s surrounded by dancers masquerading as forest creatures, moving with such pride, passion and zest for life that one had to remember to breathe while watching the elaborate production unfold.

That the Aboriginal cultural performance was such a thrill came as no shock. What was surprising, however, is how the dancers and drummers continued to elevate the talent bar impossibly high at the annual Igniting the Spirit Gala, held at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre on National Aboriginal Day. The show was choreographed by Anishinaabe dance artist Christine Friday. It blended mainstream and traditional Indigenous dance styles, featuring an aerialist, local ballet dancers and a host of Indigenous talent from across Canada.

“It was so beautiful,” Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, wife of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, told OBJ.social after the show was over and the last of the colourful confetti had dropped on stage. “They keep outdoing themselves every single year."

Grégoire Trudeau, who was the evening’s guest speaker, attended the gala with her eight-year-old

daughter, Ella-Grace. They were seated at one of the dinner tables adorned with home-made animal masks, numbering 600 in total.

She spoke from the heart about Canada 150 and how we must look back at the stories that have shaped us as people and as a nation. The most important thing for us to move forward as a country for the next 150, she added, is to have love for ourselves and for one another.

Grégoire Trudeau donated for auction a silver and bronze bracelet cuff, created for her to wear that night

by Halifax artist Tanya Milne. It sold for $850.

Each year, the evening raises more than $150,000 for the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, an award-winning healthcare facility located on Montreal Road. It offers programs and services with a community-based and holistic approach. The organization is led by the highly regarded Allison Fisher, seen at the gala with her movie-star good looks.

Community investment

By Shannon Bain

Businesses are creating innovative ways to help a cause

A

cross eastern Ontario, companies are becoming increasingly creative with how they help charitable causes by developing their own corporate social responsibility programs.

“We are doing a lot more than just making good beer,” says Steve Beauchesne, CEO and co-founder of Beau’s, a craft brewery founded in Vankleek Hill in 2006. “When you focus on doing the right thing for the right reason – the symptom is growth and profitability.”

It’s this type of forward-thinking that’s making a significant contribution to the nonprofit sector and giving some businesses a clear advantage in the marketplace.

Today’s consumers are looking for more than just a product or service; they want to align with companies that have a positive impact on people and the planet.

While Beau’s is viewed as a relatively young brand in the competitive beer industry, it has successfully created its own niche amongst consumers thanks to its progressive community investment strategy.

Along with helping charities, the brewery focuses

14

on ensuring its beers are certified organic and that ingredients are sourced from local companies with good environmental track records.

Beauchesne believes that companies that “do the right things for the right reasons” will always outpace their competitors.

“Your customers and staff have a stronger relationship with your brand because they identify with your social purpose,” he explains. “If you can help them understand how the work they are doing is connected to other people’s lives, they work harder.”

In its first 10 years, Beau’s sales and social impact have both grown significantly. They set an original target of giving $1 million to community organizations. Now, for the next decade of operations, they will strive to reach $5 million of social good.

“We are a company where our sales reps don’t just have revenue targets. They have donation targets too,” he says. “We’ve built social impact into the top and bottom line.”

The next phase for Beau’s involves an international project to help open the first woman-

owned craft brewery in Rwanda. It’s a legacy project for Beau’s, and one that is a source of great pride for staff.

“This is an intensive five-year project, and right now we are getting all the groundwork in place to have the brewery finished and ready to start in 2018,” explains Beauchesne.

Once the structures are in place, the Beau’s team will mentor staff in day-to-day operations to ensure they start the business on a solid footing.

“It’s one thing when you donate money to an idea, but it’s very different when you get to meet the people who are going to be impacted,” says Beauchesne. “It gives you a much deeper connection to the project and motivates you to do more.”

Beau’s is one of several companies in the region engaged in unique corporate social responsibility initiatives. Here are some of their stories:

Community decision-making Forming community connections are the cornerstone of Telus’ award-winning community investment program.

In 2016, the company donated more than $42 million (2.5 per cent of net income) to communities across Canada, $400,000 of which was invested here in our region. Those funds are awarded mainly to grassroot and start-up initiatives, with the funding decisions for Ottawa made solely by the local 15-member community board. The board includes some Telus team members, but the majority are external business and philanthropic leaders.

“We put the decision-making power in the hands of those who know the community best,” explains Shannon Gorman, Telus’ national director of community affairs. “We focus on programs that impact youth at risk in the areas of health, education and the environment.”

Getting communities mobilized and taking action is a key target for Telus’ 2017 campaign. Inspired by Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations, they’ve

vowed to volunteer one million hours of giving across Canada. Telus team members and their families are lending their support to several projects including planting trees and sorting goods at local food banks.

“Canadian companies have to take an active involvement in making our country a better place to live,” says Gorman. “It is not only a good business decision, but it also attracts the best people and clients to your organization.”

“Canadian companies have to take an active involvement in making our country a better place to live.”

> Building a CSR program If you are looking to set up a corporate social responsibility program, here are a few things that can help get you started.

•

Decide on an impact that aligns with your business model

•

Identify community groups that are aligned with or affected by your business practices

•

Interview charities and not-for-profit organizations to find out what their needs are (in addition to funding)

•

Establish a working group with staffers and brainstorm ideas. If your program grows from within the company (all levels of employees), it will be easier for staff to bring it to life

•

Take a look at what other organizations are doing – and don’t afraid to be creative!

•

Once you have set your sights on your key program initiatives, establish the strategy and framework for all levels of the organization and consult with your intended beneficiaries.

•

Set targets and update staff and stakeholders on your results.

•

Celebrate your achievements! It’s important that you recognize what you have accomplished, and how it makes an impact.

Building on success Being involved in a project from the ground up is at the heart of Amsted’s partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa. For the last 12 years, the locally owned home building and renovation company has saved the charity millions of dollars in labour and expenses as they rebuild and repair the Camp Smitty facilities near Eganville.

“During our first site visit, it was clear they needed help to give them a new kitchen and dining facility,” explains Amsted president Steve Barkhouse. “The existing buildings were in pretty bad shape, so we got our suppliers and staff together and we completed the project.”

It was an incredibly powerful partnership that resulted in a new $500,000 building for campers to enjoy as well as huge savings for the Boys and Girls Club.

Over the years, Amsted has worked on several projects, such as tearing down old buildings, designing custom tree houses, replacing windows and updating door knobs.

This fall, the team will be replacing the roof on the Welcome Centre and adding shelving inside the building to help spruce it up. They will also be tasked with drywalling and painting the health lodge, checking the electrical wiring throughout the site and putting the finishing touches on six cabins.

It’s a pretty exhaustive to-do list, but thanks to the army of close to 80 Amsted volunteers (which includes staff and their families), the items will be crossed off one by one and the camp will be ready for the 2018 summer season.

Barkhouse is still in awe of the magnitude of what his team accomplishes in such a short period of time.

“I have been to massive industrial sites and I have never seen a workforce more invested in their project,” he says. “Everyone is working so hard and on tasks that they don’t do every day. And oddly enough, at the end of the weekend – even though everyone is exhausted – they still thank me for the opportunity to be part of it. It’s pretty incredible.”

Driving social impact Working miracles in a short period of time is par for the course for Rideau View Golf Club’s Matt Robinson.

Over the last 10 years, the pro instructor has raised more than $375,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and he’s done it all on the golf course.

The cause is one that is close to Robinson’s heart after his twin daughters – Kathryn and Kristina – were born prematurely at 28 weeks.

“Kathryn required a lengthy stay at CHEO prior to her coming home, and she spent countless hours in hospital during the first 18 months of her life,” Robinson recalls. “She has had 10 surgeries, ranging from a life-saving intestinal operation to cochlear implantations and multiple eye surgeries.

Let’s just say we have spent a lot of time at CHEO.” For Robinson and his wife Dayna, those early months in the spring of 2006 were some of the longest days they had ever endured, filled with stress, anxiety, worry and fear. As tough as those times were to overcome, they also served as an inspiration. The Robinsons channelled their energy and developed The Longest Day of Coaching fundraiser, an initiative that would have a huge impact for families facing a health crisis.

“We wanted to mimic some of the longest days we spent at CHEO, so we decided to host the Longest Day of Coaching,” explains Robinson. “I help people with their golf technique and at the same time give back to the hospital that saved our little girls.”

The Longest Day of Coaching begins just as the sun comes up (around 6:30 a.m.) and continues all day and into the following morning. Robinson spends more than 18 hours on the links hosting clinics for chipping and putting, private instructional sessions, swing analysis, and even the occasional club fitting.

He credits Paul Sherratt, along with the entire team at Rideau View and its members, for the tremendous success of the event.

From left, Matt Robinson, Dayna Robinson and CHEO philanthropy manager Tracy Donohue.

“They have always been supportive of me on both a personal and professional level,” he explains. “They lived through the tough times with us and for that we will be forever grateful.”

Even though the Longest Day of Coaching is a gruelling schedule, Robinson walks away each year feeling empowered – thankful that the event is having a positive impact for families in our community. This year, he raised a recordbreaking $47,000, which will be put towards the purchase of vital, life-saving equipment at CHEO.

When QuickStart Autism’s fundraising art show had grown too big to be hosted in the home of one of its sponsors, organizers were concerned they would be unable to find a venue that fit their zero-cost model.

That was until they met Greg Graham, the chief operating officer of Cardel Homes. He arranged for Cardel to open its doors to QuickStart Autism, allowing them to host Art for Autism in three of the developer’s spacious 2,000-square-foot model homes in the Blackstone Kanata South community.

“We find out what a charity needs and we help them achieve it, so that they can get maximum return,” explains Graham. “With QuickStart, they needed a space, so it was a perfect fit for us.”

Jacobson credits companies such as Cardel for helping the charity keep event costs low, so that more funds go directly to helping families.

This year’s Art for Autism fundraiser netted slightly more than $12,000, which is enough to fund three families in the KickStart Intervention program.

Cardel invited QuickStart Autism to host its Art for Autism fundraiser in three of the developer’s model homes in Kanata South.

“We are all raising our families here in Ottawa and we feel a real responsibility and commitment to give back,” says Shabinsky. “It’s what makes Ottawa so special: everyone taking care of each other.”

For the RAW team, that means lending support to charities and working with local businesses for materials.

“All of our supplies are bought through local companies,” says Shabinsky. “Most of our custom items are provided by small local manufacturers. Those items are key to our products and give us an opportunity to support other local businesses.”

THE OTTAWA MISSION

What we do The Ottawa Mission has been helping people who are homeless and hungry in our community since 1906.

Even back then – 111 years ago – our community saw people on the margins - some in temporary crisis and others with lifelong struggles. Today, with the

help of a small, trained staff and a dedicated army of volunteers, The Ottawa Mission prepares and serves an average of 1307 meals a day, shelters an average of 220 men every night, and provides a wide range of life-changing programs.

How you can help GIVE A corporate donation to The Ottawa Mission is an investment in the lives of people in need. We value our corporate partners and the critical role they play, and work with them to direct their gift toward an area of need that aligns with their values and/or mandate. Through corporate donations we

are able to expand our programs to impact more individuals, and increase opportunities for those who use our services to improve their situation.

As a corporate partner of The Ottawa Mission you can give back to your community and also provide engaging and meaningful opportunities for your employees.

Our funding priorities change from year to year depending on the operational needs of the shelter and the needs of those staying with us.

The operation and maintenance of the buildings that house an average of 220 people every night present some challenging costs. As well, funds are sometimes needed to expand programs offered at The Ottawa Mission - like addiction treatment programs - as often there are waiting lists to access these programs.

There are many volunteer opportunities, such as helping with food prep for meals in our kitchen; organizing clothing donations; or tutoring someone at The Mission’s Stepping Stones Learning Centre. On average, 250 individuals a week volunteer at the shelter and together, they have a huge impact on the quality of services offered to people who are homeless and hungry.

We are always seeking volunteers to join our team.

Coldest Night of the Year

February 24, 2018 CNOY is a walk-fundraiser that raises money for the hungry and homeless across Canada, including Ottawa. Participants will experience challenges faced by those who are homeless, while raising funds to support The Ottawa Mission.

Holiday meal campaigns The Ottawa Mission carries out three holiday meal campaigns a year, with the focus on raising sufficient funds to provide people in the community who are hungry or homeless with a holiday dinner at a special event in our dining room. Those campaigns

run during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter seasons. Any additional funds raised through these seasonal dinner campaigns are used to support the hundreds of meals served through the rest of the year, as well as the other life-changing programs and services we offer to people in need.

Summer fundraising campaign In addition to our three holiday campaigns, we also hold a fundraising campaign just before the summer when donations begin to decrease dramatically.

This allows us to continue to offer support and programs to people in need during the summer months.

The implication for employers is significant. Staff turnover, absenteeism and presenteeism hurt the bottom line. In fact, it is estimated that the cost of workplace presenteeism is 7.5 times that of absenteeism. The impact on productivity and benefit costs can cause financial challenges for even the most successful companies.

As a connector between employees and Canada’s most trusted health charities, HealthPartners is seeing a new trend in workplaces: a desire on the part of employers to engage their employees in improved health outcomes. Our goals are straightforward: • to reduce the incidence of chronic disease in Canada; • to work with employers to improve the health outcomes of their employees; and • to engage employees in the incredible work of our health charities.

HEALTHY AND ENGAGED WORKPLACES: GOOD FOR EMPLOYEES—AND GOOD FOR THE BOTTOM LINE I recently heard a surprising stat that has implications for all employers: less than 50% of employees report being fully present in the workforce on any given day.

There are any number of reasons for this: they may not feel engaged, nor have a sense of connection to their employer or workplace. They or a family member could be struggling with chronic disease or mental illness. And with an aging population where 87% of Canadians are likely to be directly affected by one or more chronic disease over the course of his or her lifetime, that problem is one that will only increase over time.

Coupled with other demographic changes in the workplace— where we now have five generations represented—there is an increasing connection between employees who feel they are engaged, and a company’s ability to recruit and retain top talent.

HealthPartners works with employers to simplify the process of engaging employees in improving their health and the company’s bottom line in three ways: • Providing the most up-to-date information to employees about chronic disease, risk factors, early screening, and the small steps they can take to reduce their likelihood of developing some chronic diseases; • Access to programs and services that connect employees to health charities that can help assist employees, caregivers or their family members living with chronic disease; and • Connecting employees to health charities through employee giving and volunteering opportunities.

At the end of the day, we know that by working together we can engage employees, improve their health, and have a positive impact on the company bottom line. And the bonus? For employers that offer their employees to support HealthPartners and our members in the workplace, we connect your employees to local programs and services, life-saving research and more than 1,200 programs in communities all across the country that benefit every single Canadian.

We’d love to have the opportunity to engage your employers and build a healthier workplace, community and country.

Volunteers are a major piece of the puzzle at HealthPartners. Without volunteers — who share their stories, serve as ambassador health advocates and help to raise awareness — we would be unable to create healthy workplaces, healthy Canadians and healthy charities. There are numerous opportunities to get involved as a volunteer with HealthPartners or with one of our partner organizations.

HealthPartners’ mission is to reduce the rate of chronic disease; help employees improve their health outcomes; and save more lives by supporting life-saving health research. Donations to HealthPartners go towards supporting the wide range of programs and services offered in communities across the country by our 16 partner health charities. These programs and services help people we know and love manage their disease/ illness and improve their quality of life. Donations also go toward ground-breaking research designed to improve and save lives.

Volunteers are critical to the work carried out by our 16 national health charities and by HealthPartners.

Annual workplace giving campaigns HealthPartners runs workplace charitable giving campaigns in both the private and public sectors all year ’round, as well as the annual Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (GCWCC).

In addition, we partner with provincial governments (e.g., New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island) to help run targeted giving campaigns. These campaigns are used to inform residents in that particular province about the community programs, services and life-changing research being undertaken by our 16 partner charities, and to highlight the impact that donations have on improving people’s health and well-being.

The second is to test the ability of melatonin to effect recurrence rates and survival amongst patients with lung cancer. The third is a trial to test the ability of 3-D mammography to better identify breast cancer early and with reduced false positives.

health. Patients are encouraged to take an active role in their healing process through the adoption of practices that support their body, mind and spirit. We collaborate with institutions, community associations, and local businesses on seminars and workshops to inform the public about prevention and complementary cancer care.

Subsidized Patient Care (Funds required $2 million) Many people living with cancer seek complementary support alongside their conventional treatments because this can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life and decrease side effects of cancer treatment, strengthening the immune system, and supporting the body’s healing ability.

> PROGRAMMING AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Programming

Programs we run at the OICC include Head Start for women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, a course on living and dying, a program focused on mindfulness, group yoga, basic and advanced nutrition for cancer patients and a program in development for pediatric integrative oncology. These programs enable us to reach more patients in a cost effective manner and allows an expansion of services otherwise impossible. In addition, the group dynamics and fantastic facilitation of these programs provide deeply meaningful support to the participants involved that can help carry them through treatment and to a greater sense of self control and equanimity.

Our impact

Subsidies are currently available for 35 patients per year with more than double this seeking support. The average cost of a subsidy is $2,500/year. Our Head Start program reduces anxiety by 75% and increases overall well-being by 88%. The majority (>60%) of

cancer patients are seeking integrative care to manage their symptoms and/or to boost their immune system but many don’t have access to this care.

OICC’s therapists help patients improve their quality of life and survival using innovative evidencebased therapies. Care includes but is not limited to: naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, targeted natural health products, nutritional guidance, massage therapy, yoga therapy, to name a few. All of these therapies are designed to maximize benefit in conjunction with hospital based care.

Community engagement

Although we do not run major events at this time, we are thrilled to be involved with some local ones that help us raise awareness and funds for OICC such as: The Tamarack Race Weekend, Craig Savill’s Golf Tournament and Curling events, and the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival. We would love to be considered as your charity of choice for your next fundraiser! All funds go towards our Changing How We Live With Cancer campaign.

This week, 500,000 employed Canadians are unable to work due to a mental illness. Mental illness causes more lost work days than any other chronic condition. The estimated annual cost of mental health disorders to the Canadian economy is a staggering $51 billion.

Mental illnesses and neurological diseases have moved to the forefront of Canadian public attention, reflecting increasing recognition of their far-reaching effects on the lives of Canadians.

With the community’s philanthropic support, The Royal is becoming a centre of excellence in the area of brain imaging and depression research.

We will do this through innovative and effective treatments and by identifying new methodologies for prevention and early diagnosis.

Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D) In 2010, former NHL hockey player Luke Richardson and Stephanie Richardson lost their 14 year-old daughter Daron to suicide. The family decided to turn their very private pain into a public call-to-action. Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.) was created at The Royal to support youth mental health awareness, education, and research. The movement inspired dialogue in the community, bringing hope to thousands of youth and continues to help raise funds to support many important youth mental health initiatives, such as the Is It Just Me? program, and the HealthyMinds and BeGameReady online applications.

My commitment to you:

After traveling around the world I grew to have a greater respect for community and have made it my mission to help give back as much as possible. My volunteering and sponsorship of the Parkdale Food Centre is just one aspect From the moment I first stepped in the Parkdale Food Centre I knew I found a place I wanted to be associated with. I asked Karen if there was anyone to help our neighbours with bank problems, problems with taxes among other things and she said no. I asked when I could start and she said, right away. Almost three years later going to the Centre every week is my highlight. I have made so many great connections with our neighbours and other volunteers and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

What I do at the Parkdale Food Centre translates how I help with mortgages for my clients. I treat every single client like I was in their position. I basically just take my knowledge of the mortgage industry (through meeting with lenders, participating in mortgage forums, reading every email and article about mortgages) and help.

The best thing about it is my services are free.

What I can primarily help with: • When you are up for renewal at any institution, give me a quick shout and I can help advise you if they are giving you the best options. I can then coach you on how to get them to give you a better rate.

• Your first home • Cottages and second homes • Rental properties

CANDLELIGHTERS CHILDHOOD CANCER SUPPORT PROGRAMS

What we do 21 Concourse Gate, Suite 9 Ottawa, ON K2E 7S4 www.candlelighters.net Information@candlelighters.net 613.715.9157 Year founded: 1988 Total revenue for last fiscal year: $533,000 Twitter: @Candlelighters1 Facebook: @candlelightersottawa

Candlelighters exists to enrich the lives of children, and their families, coping with childhood cancer and to raise awareness and understanding of the impact childhood cancer has on the families that are affected by it. Through the delivery of Education Support, Family Support and Financial Support Programs, Candlelighters addresses the unique needs that emerge as a result of a childhood cancer diagnosis.

The conventional school system is often not an option for children and youth receiving cancer treatment. CyberKids, a program that places laptop

computers or tablets with newly diagnosed patients, gives kids the tools they need to support their academic endeavours.

The financial impact of caring for critically ill children is enormous as out-of-pocket costs incurred accessing care and being in hospital soar.

Candlelighters covers all hospital parking costs, even when families travel out of the region for treatment.

Gas and grocery vouchers are also provided and additional financial assistance is available for those families in crisis or facing extenuating circumstances.

Families are important and every member of a family is impacted when there is a diagnosis of childhood cancer.

Imagine hearing the words “your child has cancer”.

The sad reality is 65 kids will be diagnosed in this region every year – more than 1 per week.

Candlelighters is here for families every step of the way, from the time of diagnosis through treatment and beyond.

For most families, one parent stops working in order to care for the critically ill child. Treatment can last as little as 6 months (rarely) but can often go on for years. Loss of income coupled with unforeseen and cumulative out-of-pocket expenses has life altering impact; the emotional and financial burden can be overwhelming. Candlelighters provides real and tangible programming that address the unique challenges and ever emerging needs of families of children with cancer.

CyberKids is a program that places laptop computers or tablets with newly diagnosed patients, gives kids the tools they need to support their academic endeavours.

Sibling Support recognizes this and gives kids indirectly impacted an opportunity to share experiences with other siblings of young cancer patients.

HOPEWELL EATING DISORDER SUPPORT CENTRE

What we do Hopewell Eating Disorder Support Centre offers services and supports to those who struggle with an eating disorder, and to the family and friends who walk with them on their long and difficult recovery journey. This includes three unique support groups, offered in eight-week sessions throughout the year: a closed group for individuals who are new to recovery or who may need a more structured setting; an open group for individuals who are more established in their recovery; and an open group for friends and family members.

Hopewell also offers a mentoring program, where a mentor who has been successfully recovered for over three years meets one-on-one with a mentee

who may benefit from help when adjusting to life after treatment.

Equally important, Hopewell provides a vital outreach and education function, to try to prevent these deadly diseases from developing in the first place. Hopewell partners with schools and community organizations to talk to youth about media literacy, positive body image and selfesteem, and mental well-being. These messages are essential for young people to receive, since many face constant bombardment over social media with images and messages telling them they just don’t measure up – whether that be in appearance, social status, or otherwise.

GIVE Hopewell relies almost exclusively on the generosity of individuals and organizations in our community to keep fighting against these illnesses, which are the most fatal of all mental health diagnoses. Our community based supports and services are vital in assisting those who must navigate the complex mental and physical healthcare system, and yet Hopewell does not receive funding from any level of government.

In the coming years, Hopewell is interested in exploring the feasibility of leveraging new technologies to provide on-line support for individuals who are struggling with an eating disorder.

When you donate to Hopewell, a little goes a long way! For instance, a donation of $20,000 would cover a significant portion of Hopewell’s yearly program development and delivery expenses. A donation of $10,000 would cover our very modest annual rent, so we can target funds towards better serving our clients. And $5,000 would help us to continue offering prevention, education and outreach initiatives to local youth.

Brian Henry and Riccarda Galioto recently presented Hopewell with a cheque for over $12,000, the result of various fundraising initiatives held by the Ottawa Chapter of Meeting Professionals International

VOLUNTEER Hopewell volunteers are mostly involved with our community outreach and education initiatives, which can entail staffing our display at information fairs, or delivering presentations to schools and local organizations.

We also rely on volunteers to facilitate our support groups, before which Hopewell provides them with training so they are fully equipped to protect the health and well-being of our clients. These volunteers are usually in their final year of a graduate program in social work or psychology.

What we do The CHEO Foundation raises funds in support of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), The Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre (OCTC), Roger Neilson House and the CHEO Research Institute. With 167 beds, 71 outpatient specialty clinics and one of the busiest emergency departments in the country, the doctors, nurses, researchers and staff at CHEO-OCTC touch the lives of over 500,000 children and youth each year, providing the best possible health care for the children and youth in eastern Ontario, western Quebec and beyond.

helps the hospital purchase specialized pediatric equipment and funds a wide variety of pediatric programs, research, medical and nursing education, and assistance for families in crisis.

In the next 20 years there will be 70,000 more children and youth in our region than there are today and the need for our services will continue to grow. Corporate support is an important part of the community’s efforts to help CHEO-OCTC remain strong. Our hospital functions with the help of government funding, but it is simply not enough. The excellence in health care that CHEOOCTC provides would not be possible without the dedication of individuals and businesses in the National Capital Region and beyond.

Many patients and families at CHEO-OCTC share one thing in common: they are not in a position to be donors to support and improve the care they receive. This is what makes supporting CHEO-OCTC so special and so important and it is a challenge that our community helps us meet every year.

YOUR SUPPORT FUNDS Medical Equipment: As the only pediatric hospital serving eastern Ontario and western Quebec, it is paramount for the doctors, nurses and staff at CHEO-OCTC to have the most up-to-date tools and equipment.

Clinical Services and Programs: The CHEO Foundation funds numerous clinics within CHEO-OCTC from asthma to infectious diseases, weight management and everything in between. With over 170,000 patient visits to CHEO-OCTC’s 71 specialty clinics each year, donations in support of the clinics and programs at CHEO-OCTC are always an urgent need.

Research: Improving the health of our children and youth is at the very core of the work being done at the CHEO Research Institute. Research at CHEO-OCTC covers a full spectrum of pediatric topics. Thanks to donor dollars, funding keep scientists and clinicians working to discover new ways to more gently treat CHEO-OCTC’s most vulnerable patients.

VOLUNTEER One of the ways in which we make the best use of donations received is by harnessing the power of volunteers. Their various expertise and life experiences help ensure the success of our fundraising events.

Opportunities include CN Cycle for CHEO in May, the CHEO Telethon in early June, and the RBC Race for the Kids in September just to name a few.

A wish is not only a magical interlude in a terrible and frightening time, it also plays an important role in increasing a child’s sense of empowerment.

Children are energized by a wish, by imaging it, describing it, planning it and anticipating it. A wish encourages a child to see a future to fight for and then fight on, often against tremendous odds.

A wish gives courage and hope.

The Ottawa Hospital is changing how medicine is practiced in Ottawa, Canada, and around the world. As a leader in cutting-edge research and technology, it is at your Hospital that ideas come to life, collaboration leads to success, and new tools advance patient care. Throughout the coming decade, we will embark on a quest that will change Ottawa’s health care landscape for the next century.

Our goal is, and will remain, providing exceptional care to every patient that walks through our doors. To do so, we must continue to fund research, equipment and care - not all of which is covered by the province.

This is when we turn to our community leaders.

Community support enables us to buy new, cutting edge equipment to treat people in our community.

It enables our researchers to lead world-first clinical

trials, and develop better therapies and cures for the most debilitating diseases. In some cases, a donation can be leveraged up to 10 times by external funding – making every dollar you and your employees invest go even further.

> EVENTS + FUNDRAISING We are proud to be recognized as one of the most efficient and effective hospital foundations in all of Canada. We are recognized by the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy as a Top Performer in North America.

GIVE Our new Princeton facility will provide a safe home for 42 women who need moderate support. The women who move into this new space will be transitioning out of crisis, but will still need some help living in the community.

The Sisters of Jeanne d’Arc are entrusting Cornerstone with the residence they have used as their “Mother House” for many years.

This will allow the sisters to continue their legacy of helping women in need.

The Sisters, Cornerstone Housing for Women, architect Barry Hobin and Uniform Urban Developments have come together for the redevelopment of this space into 42 supportive housing apartments for women.

These four parties all care deeply about the Westboro community and want to see this space used in an inspiring way. It’s an ideal partnership!

This exciting renovation began in the summer of 2017. The architect for the project will be Anthony Leaning of CSV Architects. When it’s completed, Cornerstone will have a brand new, transformative space that women can come to and turn their lives around. There are a number of programs and items for which we are fundraising in order to bring this project to fruition. Please contact us for project or donation information.

VOLUNTEER As a Cornerstone volunteer, you can be vital piece of the puzzle that helps women break the cycle of poverty and homelessness and build a new life of hope and stability. Here are a few of the ways you might like to volunteer at Cornerstone: • Sorting food donations, and helping prepare the nutritious meals that fuel Cornerstone women.

• Providing transportation and accompaniment for appointments, housing search, and moving.

• Organizing activities like arts and crafts or games nights, off-site adventures, and exercise programming that keeps every day joyful and new.

• Providing haircuts, tailoring a dress or a pair of pants, and sorting through donations, so residents can feel like their best selves and live with dignity.

We welcome new ideas and projects to accommodate your special skill sets! We welcome everyone to start the conversation about volunteering at Cornerstone.

Stephanie MacGregor on her trip to east Africa.

Corporate intelligence

After spending close to two decades in the corporate world, responsible for more than $1 billion in revenue and thousands of employees all over the world, Pagani knows how to run successful businesses and resultsdriven campaigns. He is encouraging his team at the Ottawa Community Foundation to adopt business principles when making decisions.

“The system is comprised of big-hearted people, but ... (it is) too heavily reliant on grants,” he says. “The focus needs to be on evidence-based decision making, a systems oriented approach to problem-solving and private-public-philanthropic partnerships.”

He feels the sustainability of the sector lies in part in the development of social enterprises, innovative ideas that generate new revenue opportunities for charitable organizations.

“A big part of my job is giving people the license to think creatively and encourage them to challenge the status quo,” he explains. “Let’s try new ideas and if we fail, let’s do it quickly and learn what we need to learn and move on.”

The personalization of philanthropy Organizations must spend more time getting to know their donors and understand what interests, inspires and engages them By Mena Gainpaulsingh

in support of new and bold ideas for social, environmental and economic change,” says Cressman-Dickinson. “Our model gives us the flexibility to fund both established organizations and individuals willing to pilot unproven concepts.

JustChange places importance on giving money without strings attached, trusting that those working to advance issues in these areas know best how to allocate the $1,000 to accelerate their initiatives and create change.

Ottawa has an established Giving Circle ecosystem, with other initiatives following similar models including Awesome Ottawa and Soup Ottawa.

Disruptive philanthropy

P

hilanthropy is such an important part of our social structure. In 2014, Canadian charities issued $15.7 billion in receipts. That’s a lot of people, organizations and companies giving out considerable funding with the intent of doing good in their communities.

While traditional methods of charitable giving and fundraising continue to bring in significant funding for long-established charities to do great things, we are increasingly seeing some shifts in what prompts people to become more philanthropically engaged.

There is no doubt that as competition for funds increases, donors are becoming more discerning when it comes to choosing what to support, and how.

As a result, nonprofits are evolving to meet donor needs more effectively.

Here are some of the developments we are seeing in the sector when it comes to donor behaviour, and what donors expect from charities.

Better impact reporting It is no longer enough for charities to simply talk about what they do and how they do it. It’s becoming abundantly more important for charities to demonstrate impact to ensure a long-term relationship with their donors.

“Donors are increasingly concerned about how their money is being used and the impact it is having in the community,” says Anita James, Director of Strategic Initiatives with the Ottawa Community Foundation. “Donors are increasingly concerned about how their money is being used and the impact it is having in the community.”

She says that finding ways to effectively measure results and report back is not only good practice, but also helps charities understand if and how they are moving the needle on priority issues. It also highlights the charities and approaches that are making a difference.

James says funders and donors alike use evaluation reports to further identify needs, lessons learned and opportunities that inform the narratives around issues and allow for evidence-based decision-making.

64

More customization, more involvement Customized giving has been a trend that has been developing for several years. This includes child sponsorship, where people are able to hear about how their donations have an ongoing impact on an individual life, and microfinancing initiatives such as Kiva.

Meanwhile, donors here in Ottawa are bringing their own personalized flavour of philanthropy to the city.

“Donors are increasingly concerned about how their money is being used and the impact it is having in the community.”

– Anita James, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Ottawa Community Foundation

Giving Circles are one such example of how people are making the choice to directly choose the specific projects to which they want to give.

Jesse Cressman-Dickinson is one of the founders of JustChange Canada, a non-profit supporting the development of city-based chapters that award $1,000 via a bi-monthly call for great ideas. Their chapters raise funds through monthly donations from each of the local board members.

“JustChange members in Ottawa pool their own funds

Donors thinking more deeply, and personally, about their impact is the kind of shift in thinking that David Sweanor – Ottawa’s 2016 Philanthropist of the Year – welcomes.

Sweanor, an adjunct professor of law at the University of Ottawa, was entirely anonymous when it came to his charitable giving until 2015. Then one day he decided to come out of the philanthropy closet. Why did he decide to do this?

Sweanor said there were two main motivating factors. He wanted to encourage more people to think about how they can change the world through charitable giving. He also wanted people to think more about how they give, and to what.

“We invariably have limited resources and face great opportunities,” Sweanor said. “Who has the best ideas on how to most effectively create the changes we want to see in the world? Which organizations have become stale, who can do the job better, and who can help good organizations become great ones?”

An evolving sector So what does this mean for the nonprofit and charitable sector? How might they need to change their approach when it comes to connecting with donors?

Organizations must spend more time getting to know their donors and understand what interests, inspires and engages them. They also may need to consider how they can become more flexible with their approach – perhaps offering more choice in terms of giving and stewardship – so donors can have a more wholesome experience through their charitable involvement.

Philanthropy is about a true partnership between the donor and the organization. It’s about bringing nonprofits and funders together in a way where they both benefit from the contributions that are made.

As a result, the world will continue to be better off.

Fundraising needs 'new narrative,' Ottawa retreat hears

By Derek Rumboldt-deLouché

C

hanging the public’s perception of fundraising and fundraisers was one of the main themes to emerge this summer when a group of 80 leaders in Fundraising from across Canada gathered at the Sheraton Ottawa.

“It was a pleasure to have AFP Leaders from across the country in our city and it allowed many of our Ottawa board members and volunteers to participate in vital conversations about our sector,” said AFP Ottawa President Kelly Lachance, who chaired the committee hosting the retreat. “These conversations play a key role in promoting AFP values like stewardship, donor trust, and effective and

ethical fundraising.”

To underscore those conversations, Ian MacQuillin – from the fundraising think tank Rogare at the University of Plymouth in the U.K. – made the trip to Ottawa to offer his perspective. He challenged the Canadian fundraising profession on what needs to be done to play a part in shifting the public’s perception on the little understood profession of fundraising, and what AFP can do to help Canadians better understand. MacQuillan defined this as “creating a new narrative for fundraising.”

In Canada, growth in community needs, the demand for more services, the demand for ethical approaches to

donors and the expansion of causes has led to a dramatic increase in individuals raising funds for charities across the country, especially since the 1990s. This is leading to a challenge with the public’s expectation, which is still connected to historical assumptions in direct conflict with typical norms for business.

One example raised is that donors expect a charity to be efficient with donated money. Charities with any sort of overhead are perceived as “bad” and unworthy, despite these charities often being MORE efficient because they have the infrastructure to deliver programs and help more people. In the business world, investors know organizations have infrastructure and overhead, and those factors help companies be more efficient through economies of scale.

Another discussion point among the Canadian leaders was professionalization. When a charity hires an industry leader to deliver the mission, the market competitive salary paid to that individual can become a news story. There remains the expectation that charities are either run by volunteers, or that those who work for a charity shouldn’t expect a good salary. Are those the principles by which we want to manager eight per cent of Canada’s GDP and 10 per cent of the workforce? Do we really want the most vulnerable Canadians to be served by people who aren’t the best, but maybe the most affordable?

So, what does a “new narrative” mean for fundraising and the charitable sector?

“Part of the responsibility falls on us, the fundraisers and non-profit leaders to help the public understand the value offered by charities, fundraisers and others,” says Scott Decksheimer, the Chair of AFP Canada and one of the many volunteers who attended the meetings. “We hope individuals and businesses will reconsider their perceptions about the sector. Just as business has changed, so has the non-profit sector.”

Decksheimer added that Ottawa was an “amazing host” and said AFP will continue working on the issue over the next year.

“Now, it is each delegate’s job to take their learning and conversations back to their communities across Canada,” he says.

‘Phils’ honour Ottawa leaders strengthening our community

By Margot Lefebvre

E

ach year, National Philanthropy Day is celebrated on Nov. 15 across Canada. National Philanthropy Day is a celebration of philanthropy – giving, volunteering and charitable engagement – that highlights the large and small accomplishments that all those involved in the philanthropic process make to our society and our world.

Locally, the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Ottawa Chapter celebrates National Philanthropy Day with the Philanthropy Awards during the week of Nov. 15. These Philanthropy Awards (lovingly referred to as the Phils) provide charitable organizations the opportunity

David Sweanor was honoured as the 2016 Outstanding Individual Philanthropist

to celebrate local philanthropists and one fundraising professional.

We know that the community does not follow, it leads.

Leads campaigns, leads movements and leads change.

Ottawa is well-known for being a caring and generous city. By working in the not-for-profit community, we are fortunate to witness this generosity daily. But on one powerful night in November, we recognize these leaders who make significant contributions of time, talent and treasure, all in the name of strengthening our community.

This is why the Philanthropy Awards were created 23 years ago: to acknowledge these true expressions of philanthropy that make such a difference to charitable organizations.

The Philanthropy Awards is an inspiring evening that recognizes and shares philanthropic motivations and journeys with the community. By sharing these stories and celebrating these phenomenal people and groups, we can shine a light on all that can be accomplished through charitable engagement while encouraging others to get involved. It is a beautiful evening that brings together the not-for-profit sector with the business world to celebrate the tremendous good that can come from working together. I have no doubt all those who attend leave the

awards dinner energized about their contributions to the community and motivated to do more.

By the time the Ottawa Giving Guide is published, we will have just celebrated seven inspiring individuals and groups at the 23rd annual AFP Ottawa Philanthropy Awards: six remarkable community leaders and one exemplary fundraising professional. Award categories include Outstanding Individual Philanthropist, Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser, Outstanding Corporate Philanthropist, Outstanding Small Business, Outstanding Philanthropic Group, Outstanding Individual Youth and Outstanding Fundraising Executive. The recipients in each category are selected by a judging panel of experienced community and business leaders who work through the many worthy nominations to select each year’s winners.

Philanthropy is defined as “the love of humankind,” and both National Philanthropy Day and the Philanthropy Awards provide the opportunity to recognize the change that word has brought to our communities. We hope will join us in this celebration each year.

AFP’s support of the Canadian fundraising industry

By Mena Gainpaulsingh

The non-profit community, and their donors, are doing great things in Ottawa, contributing to causes that range from animal welfare to poverty reduction. Collectively, they make a significant contribution to the well-being of the community and its residents.

A key element for the success of the sector is our fundraising community, who work tirelessly to connect worthy organizations with compassionate individuals, foundations and companies looking to do their part in contributing to a thriving community.

The Association of Fundraising Professionals is the primary professional body in support of the fundraising industry in Canada, and the largest international association of fundraising professionals in the world.

AFP’s primary role is to promote the importance and value of philanthropy and enable people and organizations to practice ethical and effective fundraising by: • Supporting the growth and development of networks of fundraisers in Canada and around the world; • Providing information and resources to enable fundraisers to develop in their profession; • Establishing the ethical framework that allows

•

fundraisers to make an impact in Canadian society; and Promoting philanthropy and fundraising the public arena.

AFP has almost 30,000 members worldwide, with 3,500 of them here in Canada. AFP Ottawa is one of 16 Canadian chapters and has a network of more than 1,500 fundraisers who look to the Chapter for professional education, peer-to-peer guidance and connection to their fellow fundraisers. Our members include individuals and organizations that range in size and scope from small arts organizations to large hospital foundations.

We run a range of activities in support of the sector.

These include Fundraising Day, the largest professional education conference focused purely on fundraising in the region that’s been attended by more than 300 fundraisers in the past. We also celebrate the community’s philanthropists through the annual Philanthropy Awards, which takes place every November.

We also run regular, smaller education events. These include lunch-and-learns and breakfast events

on a range of topics, such as creating a culture of philanthropy and fundraising ethics. Additionally, we offer various peer-to-peer learning opportunities for fundraisers at different stages in their career.

As we move forward as a chapter, we are developing our approach to ensure fundraisers are supported through every step of their fundraising journey. We recognise that today’s junior fundraiser could be tomorrow’s charity CEO, and we want to ensure that the principles of best practice and ethical fundraising remain with them throughout their career, and that every charity donor gets the experience they should out of engaging with the charitable sector.

By providing the right leadership skills, education, network and community, we know the charitable sector will continue to thrive in Ottawa, changing lives, building a more compassionate society and making the world a better place.
