WHY GIVE?
We are doing our homework on your behalf. We are researching what is working in other communities and supporting implementation of similar programs here in Cape Breton. We are asking questions about how our money is being invested locally and how it is having an impact to make a difference. We are looking at the big picture so that we can learn from others failures and successes. We are supporting partnerships so that we no longer work in silos and can identify gaps that need to be addressed to make programs more efficient and more effective.
From Poverty to Possibility
We’re helping to meet the basic needs of our community’s most vulnerable people, giving every local community member the opportunity to realize a better future.
All That Kids Can Be
From the early years to high school completion, we’re supporting the full path of development to help children and youth achieve their potential.
Strong Communities
In working for the overall well-being of community members, we’re building the positive environments and social capacity for caring, safe neighbourhoods.
