Nonprofit Organizations in Halifax

The Arthritis Society began 70 years ago with one very clear goal; to alleviate the suffering of people crippled by arthritis. Founded in 1948 by Dr. Wallace Graham and his medical peers from across the country, it was Mary Pack, a fiercely driven community advocate who worked tirelessly to put peoples’ needs truly into the spotlight. Today, that same passion exists in communities across Canada.

The Bella Rose Arts Centre Society was created in order to fill the need for a performing arts venue and cultural space in the Clayton Park neighbourhood of Halifax Mainland North. The society is a registered, not-for-profit charity whose function is to operate the Bella Rose Arts Centre theatre and its programs. The mission of the Bella Rose Arts Centre is to foster appreciation and understanding of the arts within the school and community through an inclusive approach to music, fine arts and performing arts programming. The main focus of the Bella Rose Arts Centre is to facilitate arts education and programming within the diverse community of Halifax Mainland North.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to curing blood cancers and improving the quality of life for patients and their families. Through Canadian-led research, education, advocacy, and free support services, LLSC helps people navigate every step of their blood cancer experience while driving progress in treatments and care.

Light The Night is LLSC’s signature fundraising event, bringing communities together each fall in cities across Canada. Participants carry illuminated lanterns—red for supporters, white for survivors, and gold in memory of loved ones—as they walk in solidarity to honour, celebrate, and remember those impacted by blood cancers.

Funds raised through Light The Night fuel groundbreaking research and vital support programs. The event not only shines a light on the progress made over the past two decades, but also inspires hope and connection, reminding everyone that no one walks alone in the blood cancer community.
