SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NON PROFITS

Passion Makes A Difference

Doing Work That Matters!

GIVING BACK!

Social responsibility and non profits are a great combination with real estate.  Why not use real estate transactions to help your local and / or global communities to make a difference! Whether you’re buying or selling your Montreal real estate, it’s always a huge decision. Probably one of the biggest decisions you can make. Aside from having my knowledge and expertise to guide you, I donate a portion of my profits to the non profit of your choice! It’s nice to know that on top of having a successful transaction, you’re using your real estate transaction in a socially responsible way and are able to make a positive impact on something that’s close to your heart. You make a difference!!

 

 

Below are some of the amazing non profits some of my clients have introduced me too and I’ve had the pleasure to know.  Some are more well known then others, operate locally and / or  globally. What they all have in common is that they do awesome work that addresses many diverse needs and communities. I hope you’ll  be inspired liked I was to learn of their existance.  If you don’t see a non profit that’s of special importance to you, the list is growing all the time with your help.

Old Brewery Mission Logo

The Old Brewery Mission is an incredible organization based here in Montreal that is trying to end homelessness! Some frightening statistics you  may not know according to The Old Brewery Mission

  • As many as 50,000 make up the “hidden’ homeless”, “couch-surfers” or individuals who stay with family, friends, or others because they have nowhere else to go[1].
  • The average life expectancy of a person experiencing homelessness in Canada is 39 years[2].
  • For people who remain homeless for more than three months — the chronically homeless — life on the streets and in shelters creates cascading trauma often leading to addiction, abuse and suicide[2].
  • The chronic homeless incur large economic costs – an estimated $1.1 billion or $35,000 cost per person each year through being inappropriately ‘housed’ in jails and temporary shelters and using hospital emergency departments[2].
  • On The Mission

    • the largest resource of its kind for homeless men in Quebec and for homeless women in Canada.
    • Operates seven pavilions across the city of Montreal and employs 200 trained individuals.
    • Transitions more than 600 homeless men and women
      back into society every year.

WaterFirst

ABOUT WATER FIRST

Water First Education & Training Inc. is one of the top charitable organizations in Canada addressing water challenges in Indigenous communities through education, training and meaningful collaboration.

Founded in 2009 to bring drinking water resources to rural schools in Uganda, we provided training on the operations and maintenance of the water and sanitation systems we installed. Water First began working with Indigenous communities in Canada in 2012, after being challenged and inspired on numerous occasions about why we weren’t working with communities here in Canada experiencing water challenges.

Our projects with Indigenous communities were initially small but grew quickly. Within a few years, our collaborations accounted for nearly 90% of program resources. Water First dedicated itself exclusively to working with Indigenous communities in 2016. We focus on technical skills training in the fields of both drinking water and environmental water, as well as water science education for Indigenous youth.
