Host a Fundraiser!

Help Build a Stronger Waterloo Region

Your fundraising efforts make a difference, opening doors and offering hope-filled solutions. You are helping create a community where everyone can belong and thrive.

Are you having a lemonade stand? Collecting donations at a holiday party? Requesting donations in lieu of gifts for your birthday? Hosting a fundraising gala or golf tournament?

By starting something special and committing to raise funds, you are supporting Waterloo Region’s most vulnerable residents – those who need food, housing, community resources or addiction treatment.

We are honoured by your commitment to help our neighbours in need. Thank you for your creativity, generosity and time to make your fundraiser a success!
