Donate

A little goes a long way at The Alex, and there are many ways that you can make a positive change in someone else’s life!

Your generosity can sponsor medical equipment on our Health Buses, help us teach cooking skills at our Community Food Centre, provide identification for our street-connected youth, and help house someone who has experienced homelessness.

Host a fundraiser

A bake sale, a BBQ, or an online giving campaign can be a fundraiser for The Alex!

We have a full package of assets available, including a user-friendly peer-to-peer fundraising platform to help you reach your goals.

Corporate and Workplace Giving

Giving back can be a great way to engage employees and build community.

Whether you’re looking to align your brand with ours through corporate sponsorship, support a culture of philanthropy with matching programs, or add a charitable component to an event, there are many ways organizations can support The Alex.

In-kind donations

Basic needs items are always welcomed, but sometimes we don’t have extra storage space to hold it all.

If you are interested in making a donation of goods, please see our needs list and intake process.  New items are preferred, but some gently-used items may be welcome.

Leave your legacy

There are many ways you can leave a gift to The Alex: a bequest in your will, the gift of Life Insurance, the gift of Securities or the gift of RRSPs/RRIFs. The tax receipt from your gift can lower or eliminate estate taxes and by remembering The Alex in your will you may be able to leave a larger gift, while still retaining control of your assets.
