Donations

We are a registered charity, operated by a group of volunteers, with the sole purpose of caring for lost, mistreated and abandoned animals. The organization is operated by a VOLUNTEER Board of Directors. All contributions go directly to the care of the animals and any related costs. We must pay rent/boarding fees, veterinary fees and of course, food and litter. Your contributions are necessary to take care of the many animals that are abandoned and alone. These animals require not only medical treatment but your love and care.

In early 2021, Bark at the Moon Animal Rescue was founded as a means to help provide love, housing, and good health for street dogs, shelter dogs and local dogs in need. We are a non profit, foster based rescue. Our dogs are fostered across South Western Ontario (Ranging from Toronto, to London). Globally, we’ve seen an increase in overpopulation in terms of abandoned and neglected animals since the beginning of the pandemic. Shelters both locally and abroad are overflowing with unwanted pets. With overcrowding in shelters, comes unnecessary euthanasia for many very well-rounded, adoptable pets. Our mission is to save as many dogs (and cats) as possible from unwarranted death.

At the Canadian Cancer Society, we are committed to uniting and inspiring Canadians to take control of cancer. That’s why we are always funding high performance research that improves cancer outcomes and addresses the greatest opportunities for progress. It’s why we lead change in the most pressing areas of cancer policy including prevention, access, affordability and support. And it’s why we provide the highest quality cancer information for all Canadians, promote cancer prevention and provide targeted support to help people with cancer, their families and caregivers cope. We set ourselves apart from other cancer charities by taking a comprehensive approach against cancer.

We help people and communities in Canada and around the world in times of need and support them in strengthening their resilience.

We strive to make good food a priority and ensure our families have consistent access to food support. Our welcoming grocery store allows our families to browse and shop for food at no cost every two weeks. Our unique shopping experience gives families the dignity and comfort of choosing groceries for their entire family. We believe that access to nutritious food is a basic human right. We are committed to responding to the needs of our community through food distribution and support services.

The Hamilton Brain Injury Association (HBIA) was established in 1986 by stakeholders including persons with acquired brain injuries, family members, and community professionals to fill a need for peer support after acquired brain injury. Today, HBIA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representing community stakeholders including individuals living with the effects of brain injury, service providers, educators, and professionals. HBIA is a community non-profit organization supporting people living with the effects of acquired brain injury. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for people in Hamilton, living with the effects of acquired brain injury through education, support, and advocacy. We are focused on providing a safe space for persons with brain injury and their families to connect, socialize and learn.

Founded in 1848, Hamilton General Hospital (HGH) was the first hospital in Hamilton. Along with providing general internal medicine care to its large community, it is home to a number of Hamilton Health Sciences’ key regional referral programs, including: burns, cardiac catheterization, cardiac surgery, electrophysiology, endovascular treatment, extracorporeal life support (ECMO), neurosurgery, stroke, trauma and vascular surgery. It is also home to programs that provide specialized care to our HNHBB residents: cardiology, neurology and spine. In addition to providing leading-edge care, HGH is strongly connected to its neighbourhood and supports outreach activities aimed at helping to enhance the quality of life in the surrounding community.

The Hamilton Music Festival is a non-profit, charitable organization. In 2024, we had approximately 1300 entries and we awarded over $27,000.00 in scholarships to piano, voice, musical theatre, strings, woodwinds, classical guitar, choral and music writing participants. This year we are pleased to add organ as a new category. The Hamilton Music Festival is produced each year by ten Board of Directors who volunteer their time, creating the syllabus, seeking out venues, engaging volunteers, selecting adjudicators and raising funds. We are grateful for the support from donors, sponsors and the many participants and their families for recognizing the HMF as a valuable contributor to cultural life.
