Hi Friend | A Dollar A Day Donor Impact Report

A Dollar A Day Donor Impact Report | January 2020

Friends,

Happy New Year from all of us at A Dollar A Day Foundation! We have big plans in store for 2020 and are very excited to continue our journey towards sharing the change for mental health and addictions with our donors and supporters.

December was a very rewarding month for the Foundation. At the end of the month, we announced our exciting partnership with St. John's Regional Fire Department at our 2019 Holiday Gathering. We welcomed Dollar-A-Dayers, community leaders, donors, and members of the Fire Association to our Holiday Gathering to announce our fund recipients for the year and to join in celebrating the past year and enjoy some Holiday tunes. Our Holiday Giving Campaign was a great success, and we look forward to welcoming new donors to the community.

We are excited for what this New Year will bring!

If you have not contributed yet, you can be a part of this movement for improved mental health and addictions care! Please consider becoming a Dollar-A-Dayer- together we can make a difference!

All the best,

Brendan, Alan & Andrew

Partnership with the St. John's Regional Fire Department and the Fire Association Local 1075 Announcement

St. John's Regional Fire Department and the Fire Association Local 1075 have joined in collaboration with A Dollar A Day to shine a brighter light on mental health and addictions, since first responders realize the magnitude of the challenges and the need to do more.

By donating $365 and becoming the very first fire station in the country to become an “A Dollar A Dayer Fire Station” the Central Fire Station will set an example for other fire stations and individuals first responders across the country to give a dollar a day as well. In collaboration with our first responders, we can make an impact by sharing a common desire to do more.

Announcement of This Year's Fund Recipients

When we launched the Foundation in February 2018, we selected four charities that we felt were important to support in our inaugural year. We are happy to announce that each of these charities will be receiving funding for an additional year. As well we have added five additional charities to the list of causes the foundation will support this year.

We are pleased to recommit our support for Thrive in St. John’s, NL; the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Living Life to the Full Project in Ontario; The Mental Health Commission of Canada’s HEADSTRONG program Nationwide and the Salvation Army’s Harbour Light program in Vancouver, British Columbia. Langs in Cambridge Ontario, the MHEART program in Woodstock Ontario, Landing Strong in Windsor Nova Scotia, and Canadian Mental Health Association’s Talk Today program Nationwide and Covenant House in Toronto, Ontario.

All these organizations are doing incredible work not only in their home locations but nationally. They are setting strong examples to follow on how to efficiently and impactfully tackle mental health and addictions challenges on the front lines where it really matters.

Their support provides operational funds that help us move closer to our 100% goal - to have 100% of every dollar donated by individual Dollar-A-Dayers go directly to frontline mental health and addictions programs, where it is needed most!
