Our Donors
We couldn't do it without you!
The incredible impact we achieved in FY22 was made possible thanks to the generous support of a community of like-minded funders, partners and donors who share our vision of strengthening communities by unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit of all Canadians with mental health and addiction challenges.
Among those who have truly shaped our mission and helped to drive our success are the Rotmans—the noted Canadian business family and philanthropists who founded Rise in 2010. More than a decade later, we're proud and honoured to benefit from their continued support, especially through the dedicated involvement of Sandy and Janis Rotman.
Our Gratitude to Longstanding Supporters
We would like to thank our longstanding partners and donors whose gifts have reached the lifetime giving milestone of $500,000 and above.
Thank you to all of our donors who gave a gift in FY22
