Our mission
- To change what it is to be blind through innovative programs and powerful advocacy that enable Canadians impacted by blindness to live the lives they choose.
Our Commitments
Increase understanding and dispel misconceptions
Lack of awareness about the realities of life with blindness and sight loss is the underlying barrier that creates most of the issues for the people we serve across all parts of their lives – issues from lack of employment opportunities to accessibility barriers to unequal education experiences to social exclusion.
Remove barriers and create safe journeys
People with sight loss continue to loudly voice that transportation barriers are among the greatest they face, whether they live in rural or urban environments.
Support parents and kids in and out of the classroom
Kids who are blind or have low vision aren’t receiving the classroom support they need to excel, while parents who are blind are often unable to participate in their children’s education, as assignments, report cards, and other critical communications aren’t provided in accessible formats. At the same time, parents report a distinct lack of awareness about sight loss among medical professionals, which leads to a lack of information, resources, and guidance.
Liver Canada (LC), formerly known as the Canadian Liver Foundation, was first established in 1969. We exist to promote liver health, increase public understanding and awareness of liver diseases, and provide support to those affected.
At the Canadian Cancer Society, we are committed to uniting and inspiring Canadians to take control of cancer. That’s why we are always funding high performance research that improves cancer outcomes and addresses the greatest opportunities for progress. It’s why we lead change in the most pressing areas of cancer policy including prevention, access, affordability and support. And it’s why we provide the highest quality cancer information for all Canadians, promote cancer prevention and provide targeted support to help people with cancer, their families and caregivers cope. We set ourselves apart from other cancer charities by taking a comprehensive approach against cancer.
Fighting Blindness Canada (FBC) is the largest charitable funder of vision research in Canada.
Over our 50-year history, FBC has contributed critical funding for the development of sight-saving treatments and cures for blinding eye diseases. By raising and stewarding funds, FBC is helping drive forward research that supports our goal of understanding why vision loss occurs, how it can be slowed and how sight can be restored.
We are an invaluable resource for individuals and families impacted by blindness, providing accurate eye health information through our website and educational events, as well as engaging with government and other stakeholders to advance better vision health policies.

For over 70 years, the IWK Auxiliary has been raising money for patient comfort items and programs within the IWK Health Centre. What does this mean? Here are just a few of the amazing ways the Auxiliary has provided essential and often groundbreaking help to the IWK’s children, youth and families, and the staff who care for them:
Funds the operational budget of the IWK Family Library which provides reliable
health information to parents; it is a pleasant family space with Internet access
Financially supports the IWK Rehabiliative Equipment Loan program which lends adaptive equipment to children with special needs so that they can be active
Purchases movies, games and consoles, books and TVs for floors throughout the
IWK Health Centre; toys for Child Life specialists to give to patients on birthdays
Has provided funding to many innovative IWK programs to help children/youth:
Read to Me (books for newborn babies); Music Therapy; the Playgarden and more!
The Auxiliary annually brings the IWK community together with our Kermesse fundraising fair held in May. This event raises funds for IWK patient care items and programs — all while giving IWK families and the public a really fun experience. We especially need volunteers every year to set up and take down tables at our Kermesse Flea Market, and to run children's games. Please help!
