The Add Your Voice to Ours Campaign is our annual fundraising initiative that supports Concerned Friends’ efforts in wayfinding, outreach, and, education and advocacy. One-time and monthly donors will be contributing directly to further our work in these three key areas. 

Concerned Friends is a volunteer-run organization governed by a Board of Directors. A dedicated team of 25 volunteers and a part-time paid Operations & Communications Coordinator work together to deliver operational, policy and program activities that directly contribute to our organizational objectives. 

As a donor, your financial contributions will fund:

• coordination, resources and training of our Wayfinding Team - a dedicated group of volunteers who provide empathic support to individuals and families seeking help and information in navigating the Long Term Care system in Ontario
• management of our social media and outreach channels to ensure that those who need our support can find us
• the development and distribution of public-facing resources that mobilize Ontario residents to use their voices in advocating for those living in Long Term Care homes and make recommendations to the government on existing or proposed policies  
• development and coordination of advocacy activities which includes policy submissions, media outreach, communications with members, as well as managing collaborations with other sector orgs
