Welcome to CHW Toronto Centre

Sustainers Program

The Sustainers Pin

The Sustainers Program is an entirely new fund-raising concept for CHW which has enormous potential. Women across the country (and some men) are showing great faith in our organization and its work in Israel by pledging a life time gift of $1,000 annually(payable in 10 installments annually). This donation is above and beyond your annual personal donation. We already have enrolled members from coast to coast and we envision the time in a few years when this will be the biggest fund-raiser in the Organization's history.

For almost 90 years, the dedicated membership and friends of CHW have built formidable schools, day cares and women's centres throughout Israel and have ensured ongoing education and care for the vulnerable populations in Israel's society. These facilities have enable many thousands of youngsters, many of them high-risk, to thrive and succeed. Youth Villages, such as Hadassim and schools like Nahalal provide caring, nurturing and safe environments where young people can learn, live and grow amonst others their age. These are only two examples from the long list of assistance that CHW provides in Israel. At this very moment, we see the fruits of our labours of love in al all too graphic way with over half of Israel's displaced families being housed and cared for at CHW facilities. Years of hard use have left hteir mark on our projects which constantly need repairs and upgrading. Knowing how necessary these schools and youth villages are to the fabric of Israeli Society, we have introduced The Sustainers Program whereby we will ensure the upkeep and improvement of our treasured facilities in perpetuity.

Since its inception in 2006, more than 252 members have committed to be a Sustainer. The Sustainers program has a goal: to attract 1,000 members nation-wide, so that our annual WIZO commitment is ensured every year even before we roll out our Annual Campaign. In Toronto, as of June 1, we have 79 Sustainers, 55 of whom have signed up since the launch of our One Campaign. Sustainers receive a lovely pin, designed in Israel, to be worn as a pin or necklace.

Major Donors Make A Difference!

Hadassah-WIZO Canada Foundation (CHW)

Foundation Pin

Incorporated as a registered charity in 1990, the Foundation has its own Board of Directors. The Foundation's capital endowments assure a permanent source of funding for present and future endeavors. Members of the Foundation pledge a minimum $5,000 gift; Founders who pledge $25,000 are named to the Founders list and receive the Jerusalem of Gold pin. Gifts at the Founders level are payable through installments. Only interest income is used.

CHW's Cumulative Giving Society

The Society was established to recognize lifetime cumulative donors. Their continued financial generosity clearly speaks of their dedication to our projects in Israel. Sustainer donors at the $50,000 level receive an original cast gold pin. The pin is designed to add jewels as the donor increases her gifts.

Planned Giving

Did you know that your commitment and dedication to CHW can be demonstrated through a planned gift?

By including CHW in your will or by naming CHW as a beneficiary in a life insurance policy, you become an inspiration and motivation to others. A promise today creates a Jewish legacy for tomorrow. This type of commitment is an example of your compassion and generosity.
