Imagine a World Where Everyone Belongs
Why support us?
Fundraising is central to being faithful to our core values and our mission. We believe everyone has gifts and abilities that need a space to share these gifts creating a better world.
By supporting L’Arche Ottawa you are helping us to maintain this space where people with intellectual disabilities can share their gifts to ensure the world continues to become a more open, diverse, inclusive and authentic place.
We are seeking to solve a chronic shortage of day services for people with intellectual disabilities and we want to invest in and grow our service offerings while working to ensure long-term sustainability. We want to expand these services, specifically our Day Program and SIL program.
L’Arche Ottawa has faced years of chronic underfunding by the provincial government and there is a need for more day programming in Ottawa. As with most start-up initiatives the cost remains well above available revenues, especially in the first year and near-term future.
We are grateful for donations of any amount!
