Charity Organizations in Ottawa, Canada

Jody Heffernan, this is a post from the owner and host of www.blasttheradio.com, John Mielke, who has a HUGE local and since internet radio, international fan base. Maybe you can team up and brainstorm how to make this happen? "A nightclub in Paris. A nightclub in Orlando. To my club dj friends and nightclub owners, let's stand up to hate! Let's use our PA systems to be heard loudly... I propose a 'Pulse Party'... A massive event at nightclubs around the world to celebrate what every nightclub celebrates every time it opens its doors; happiness. Pulse Party. There's my pitch. Now... Who is willing to take this and run with it"

I found a list of organizations in Ottawa for anyone intereted. http://ottawa.gaycities.com/organizations/

Jody Heffernan see my post about gathering to show support tonite on ELGIN st posted by CFRA https://www.facebook.com/groups/176315345896952/permalink/444229659105518/

Bruce House is very active in Ottawa. Many other links to different groups on their website.

Centretown Comunity Health Centre is one of our local health care leaders as well and does a lot with LGBTQ, whether health care, counselling, support, advocacy and social needs. CHCs are non-profit and get little to no funding for these issues (we continue to advocate)...Simone, Executive Director, would be a good contact.

Ten Oaks is an amazing local GLBTQ cause.

Having lived in Orlando and still having friends there (a few were at the club last night; they are safe) it would be great if you would like to donate directly to those affected by the shooting. A local LGBT organization in Orlando has started a GoFundMe campaign to help with hospital costs of those wounded. https://www.gofundme.com/PulseVictimsFund

He can call your local MP or even one of the town council members. The mayor and most council members are very happy to help, and it is good to get to know them before finishing the program! You can find all that info on the township office website: http://ottawa.ca/en/city-council

There is a woman at the college who is doing a Warm Clothing Drive. She has a very interesting story - would be great. Have him check it out this Facebook page to learn more www.facebook.com/acfirstgen

I'm the founder/CEO of www.HairDonationOttawa.com We are applying for charitable status (he may need to speak to someone who ALREADY has that?)

I work at the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa. I would be happy to answer questions.

Maybe Jenny at https://www.facebook.com/187233148148701 Chavender can help you?

Hi Joy, having worked in the non-profit,charitable sector for 30 yrs. I suggest your best starting point is resources provided by Imagine Canada. They are the guiding force for all CANADIAN charities. Here is a link to start http://sectorsource.ca/managing-organization/starting-organization/applying-charitable-status

It's a Helpline for people who have a hearing loss or deaf are facing crisis. Just like there are tons of helpline for people who can hear like suicide help, crisis help line. There are none for deaf people or hard of hearing. We already have board of directors and team but we need to know how to apply for charitable number and follow the government rules and regulations. We are hoping to launch and ready in January or February 2017. Our non profit organization would be called: Deaf Skype Ministry where Deaf and HOH can contact us through Skype, text and email for help.

Margaret DeMerchant is very well versed in all of this .Please contact her

The Parkdale Food Centre is quite the community and they may be able to connect you to someone.

I realize this isn't local, but the problem you've identified is very real, and unfortunately common, in our northern communities. There's a FB page called 'Helping Our Northern Neighbours' which might be a good place to look for more info.

Hi Kaitlyn Lalonde you might want to give the gang at 510 Rideau Native Friendship Centre a call ( talk to Carrie) and try Odawa. If you need more info or groups let me know.. Got a good long list of other places if you need.:) https://www.facebook.com/Odawa.Friendship/?fref=ts
