Our passionate response to the latest FEP Report, shining a light on the vital role of smaller charities in Canada and the urgent need to level the playing field.

Discover below why supporting these unsung heroes is more important than ever.

Time for Change

Everyone who knows me understands how deep my commitment runs in driving support to smaller charities in Canada. I want them to be seen for the heroes they are.

The recent FEP (Fundraising Effectiveness Project) Report highlights how these organizations are lifelines for local communities in many cases.

Smaller charities, despite their size, make up 80% of the Canadian charitable sector, yet they receive only 24% of donations.

Harmonia’s primary mission is to try and change that staggering and inequitable reality. My work is inspired by my career as a professional fundraiser combined with the more recent experience with my PhilEx program.

And my dedication to amplifying the voices and efforts of smaller charities has never been stronger.

I’d love for you to join me on this ambitious quest – reach out any time. Let’s do this!
