Through our Social Ministries Council, we provide financial support to organizations and initiatives that address some of our community's most pressing social challenges.
Guided by our commitment to compassion, justice, and human dignity, the Council supports organizations whose work aligns with our outreach priorities, including Indigenous health and well-being, homelessness and housing insecurity, community health care, refugee support, restorative justice, food security, and poverty reduction.
We believe that meaningful change often happens through strong community partnerships. By supporting organizations already working on the front lines, we can help extend the reach and impact of compassionate programs throughout Toronto and beyond.
Recent organizations supported by the Social Ministries Council include:
Anishnawbe Health Toronto
Street Health
Restorative Justice Housing Ontario
Dominion Church International Refugee Support Program
Saint Luke's United Church Out of the Cold Program
New Circles Community Services
These examples reflect the broad range of organizations supported over time and may vary from year to year as community needs evolve.
Organizations seeking financial support may submit a request for consideration by the Social Ministries Council. Requests can be emailed to churchoffice@rosedaleunited.org and will be forwarded to the Council for review.
While available funding is limited and we are unable to support every request received, we welcome opportunities to learn about organizations whose work aligns with our outreach priorities.
Donations to Compassionate Outreach help the Social Ministries Council respond to emerging needs and provide financial support to community organizations and outreach initiatives throughout the year.
Financial donations may be made by cheque payable to Rosedale United Church or by e-transfer to churchoffice@rosedaleunited.org. Please indicate "Compassionate Outreach" in the memo or message field.
To receive a charitable tax receipt for eligible donations of $25 or more, please include your name, mailing address, and email address with your donation so that we can prepare your receipt accurately.
Together, we can support organizations and initiatives that bring hope, healing, dignity, and practical assistance to people across our communities.
