Where the
money goes
The work we do would not be possible without the incredible generosity of our supporters.
The funds from Toque item sales in our annual Toque Campaign have benefited 200 Partner Agencies across Canada to-date. 50% of the gross revenue from Toque sales goes to the local partner agencies and 50% of the gross revenue goes to Raising the Roof. Campaign costs (including the manufacturing and distribution of Toque items) are paid out of the Raising the Roof portion. As a result, the funds raised in toque sales in a community stay in that community to support their local homelessness prevention programs. The remaining funds from the Toque sales go to our national initiatives, such as Reside.
Donations made to Raising the Roof go to support our national initiative, Reside. Reside transforms vacant buildings into homes for people who are or may become homeless while training and employing people with barriers to employment, supporting them with Wraparound Supports and connecting them to employers.
