The Dream Factory was founded as The Rainbow Society in Winnipeg in 1983 and was the first organization of its kind in Canada. The Dream Factory is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to making once in a life-time dreams come true for Manitoba children suffering from a life-threatening illness. We are a Manitoba based organization so all money raised stays in our Province to help Manitoba children. The Dream Factory's goal is to say YES to every single dream child. We believe that these dreams should be experienced not only by the suffering child, but also by their immediate family whenever possible, without financially burdening the family. The most popular dream request is to visit Mickey & Minnie in the Magical Kingdom of Disney World, however, dreams are only limited to the child's imagination. A dream come true means so much to a young child who has already endured more in their young lives, than most adults.

The HRF is a volunteer-led, non-profit organization that raises funds for the purchase of much needed medical equipment for the Regina General Hospital, the Pasqua Hospital and the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre.

We can't do this work alone. Every dollar contributed supports the following: - Access to individualized counselling - Grief groups for adults and children - Camps and retreats for kids - Education, Training and Research - Training for Palliative Care Staff - Support for Families - Strengthened Palliative Care Programs Death is a natural part of living and so is grieving. On this journey, as we stand together, we may find new meaning in living and draw strength from each other as we move forward.

The Registered Nurses Foundation (RNF) is a registered, charitable organization (since 1979) committed to the advancement of nursing practice and nursing education. The RNF raises money for bursaries for students enrolled in basic, post-basic, refresher, specialty and graduate education programs in nursing, or involved in nursing research in their education (i.e. Master's or PHD Program). Bursary winners are selected by the Board of Directors each year in October. All board members are volunteers who donate their time and expertise to the Foundation. A portion of the money raised each year is used for administration costs including secretarial support, mail-outs and postage, processing bursary applications and website hosting. RNF meeting space is provided for no charge by the CRNBC. Each year the demand for bursaries increases. Your tax deductible donation will help students and RNs continue their nursing education. Please help the RNF with its Mission!

Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services is a registered charity, which has served Ottawa since 1976. We deliver programs to adults, adolescents and family members who are, or have been, affected by addictions and related mental health issues. We provide non-residential group and individual treatment, public education, training and consultation. Rideauwood currently provides programs for more than 3,000 clients annually and we need your help to continue to provide first rate programming. Rideauwood receives funding from Federal and Provincial funders, as well as the City of Ottawa, the United Way, and from private donations. Even with all of this combined funding, it still falls short of demand, which can see clients waiting 3 to 8 months for services. Alcohol and drug problems cost Canada $23 billion annually (Canadian Centre for Substance Abuse). Ontario’s Auditor General reports that for every $1.00 spent on addiction treatment, taxpayers save $5.60.
