Anonymous family donates $25 million to establish Health and Homelessness Fund For Change
London is facing one of the most dire crises in our community’s history. That’s not hyperbole or spin. That’s the truth.
Too many Londoners are suffering and dying on our streets because of the impacts associated with homelessness. But we can enable system transformation, together, when we give generously to London’s new Health & Homelessness Fund for Change.
Seeded by the most historic gift to homelessness in London’s history – a $25 million donation from a generous anonymous donor family – now is the time to give and be part of a generational legacy for our community.
Additional $5 million matching fund
When you give now, every one of your dollars becomes two via an additional $5 million matching fund powered by the generous anonymous donor family that is making this movement possible.
For so many reasons, there has never been a more important time to get involved.
Homelessness top of Mayor Morgan’s priorities
LCF is pleased to hear Mayor Morgan acknowledging that tackling homelessness is one of London’s most pressing challenges in his State of the City address. We thank Mayor Morgan for his commitment to this issue and his promotion of the Health and Homelessness Fund.
We look forward to working collaboratively with the many community partners in this space to build a systemic response to support our community’s most marginalized.
Stewardship and Governance
The Health and Homeless Fund For Change is held and stewarded by London Community Foundation ensuring strong governance, oversight, and due diligence. More information will follow in due course, following recommendations that will be made by the London Summit on Homelessness in February.
For questions about the Health and Homeless Fund For Change or for information about how to make a donation of your own to the fund, please contact Diane Silva, Director of Philanthropy at dsilva@lcf.on.ca.
