Friends of Family Councils Ontario
Your donation helps amplify family voices in long-term care. While Family Councils Ontario receives core funding from the Government of Ontario, donations allow us to do more—to innovate, to build new tools, and to reach more families.
When you give, you help families advocate for the care and dignity their loved ones deserve.
Why Your Support Matters
Family Councils Ontario is funded by the Government of Ontario to support families and Family Councils—but donations enable us to go beyond the basics. Government funding keeps our doors open; donations create real progress.
Your gift allows us to develop new technology and tools that connect families across the province, expand outreach and training to more long-term care homes, and create resources that help families advocate with confidence. Donations directly support the development of digital platforms, workshops, translated materials, and guides that are always free and accessible to families. The more support we receive, the more councils we can reach — and the more impact families can have in shaping better care for their loved ones.
Your donation enables us to:
-
Build new digital tools and technology that connect families and Family Councils across the province
-
Expand workshops, webinars, and outreach to support more families and long-term care homes
-
Create and share education resources and guides that empower families to advocate effectively
-
Increase accessibility and translation so that more families can participate
Every dollar makes a difference.
We use Zeffy, a Canadian non-profit donation platform that ensures $1 donated = $1 received. Unlike traditional fundraising platforms, Zeffy does not charge transaction or credit card fees. That means your support goes entirely toward strengthening Family Councils and improving the long-term care experience. More connection. More resources. More reach. No lost fees.
When you donate, you’re helping families step into long-term care feeling informed rather than overwhelmed. You’re ensuring that families have access to tools, education, and support from others who understand the journey. You’re helping Family Councils advocate for change — not only for their loved ones, but for every resident in the home.
Choose One-Time or Monthly Giving
Whether you choose to make a one-time donation or become a monthly supporter, your contribution has a direct impact on families across Ontario.
A one-time gift helps us respond to emerging needs — developing a new resource, delivering a workshop, or supporting councils navigating a challenge.
Monthly giving, however, creates sustained impact. Monthly donors provide steady support that helps us plan ahead, expand our outreach, and invest in long-term projects like new digital tools and province-wide education initiatives. It allows us to move from reacting to needs to anticipating and addressing them.
When you give monthly, you’re not just donating—you’re partnering with us year-round to strengthen Family Councils and improve long-term care experiences for residents and families.
