Why Become a Partner?

Sadly, there are over 15,000 people in Toronto who are homeless and the cost of homelessness is estimated at $7 billion annually. When you support Fred Victor you invest directly in solutions – housing, shelter, food, employment and healthcare. CSR initiatives like corporate volunteering and matching gift programs can improve employee engagement and reduce staff turnover by 50% and it provides Fred Victor with the funding we need to further our mission.

Partnership Opportunities

Impact Giving

A direct financial contribution is best way to make an impact. Charitable tax receipts are available, and donations of $5,000+ are acknowledged in our annual report and virtual donor wall. Make a donation today!

Matching Staff Donations

Demonstrate your commitment to what your employees care about. Matching or doubling the gift an employee makes boots the impact they feel, and we can make.

Sponsor an Event

Make a difference while connecting your brand to Fred Victor’s community of donors, volunteers, staff, and the wider public through our robust social media and advertising campaigns. Sponsorship also brings you into the spotlight at our events, where your employees, clients, and colleagues can experience being part of meaningful change together. It’s a powerful way to show your community that your organization cares.

You can sponsor one or all three of our signature events:

Street Eats – A culinary celebration where Toronto’s top chefs, restaurants, and community come together in support of Fred Victor’s food programs.
Fred’s Walk – A corporate-friendly fundraiser and guided tour through downtown Toronto, raising awareness and funds to help end homelessness.
Taste of Regent Park – A vibrant summer market that highlights local food, music, and culture while supporting food security and community programs.

Matching Donation Challenge

During a challenge, a corporate partner pledges to match all donations during a set time frame. For example, your company pledges to match every dollar donated up to $50,000 at a 1:1 ratio for the weekend. This incentivizes people to make gifts during that time and often bigger amounts, as their donations will have a greater impact. Another challenge: at your annual convention you match dollar-for-dollar gifts made to Fred Victor during the convention dates.

Team Volunteering

Your employees can take part in meaningful, engaging activities that provide direct tangible support for Fred Victor clients. Whether working together in our community gardens, making weekend lunches, or assembling warm winter care kits, your employees will gain a deeper understanding about poverty and homelessness in our city, and how we can make a difference. All team volunteering requires a monetary contribution to cover the costs of the activity and a charitable donation to Fred Victor. For more information visit our Team Volunteering page.

Corporate Cabinet

If you’re a business professional passionate about ending homelessness in Toronto, consider joining Fred Victor’s Corporate Cabinet. We’re looking for dedicated people to join a great team of volunteers helping grow our Corporate Philanthropy Campaign. As a Cabinet member, you can help by leveraging your business relationships to secure donations, sponsorships, and in-kind support, and act as an ambassador for Fred Victor’s mission.
