Update August 2024:
We Couldn’t Have Done It Without You!
We’re proud to say our 2024 campaign was another huge success. Thanks to everyone who supported the cause by donating to these three important organizations. Through our combined efforts, a total of $80,000 was raised between April and July of this year.
As we begin to think about next year’s plans, we’d like to remind you that it’s never too late to help! Even though our matching campaign is over for 2024, please continue to give generously using the links below.
“Our goal this year is to fully furnish 1500 homes and provide a bed, food, and settlement support for 250 refugee claimants in their first months in Canada. Thank you for helping us make this important work possible!”
—Allan Reesor-McDowell, Matthew House Ottawa
“These gifts help women build meaningful lives and homes after living in ongoing homelessness.”
—Richard Jacobs, Cornerstone Housing for Women
“We were able to announce the matching program at an event held by a former staff member in support of our work, which really helped drive up new donor donations and fund the furnishing of our new homes for 20 additional residents in need of affordable, safe housing.
—Amanda Cuirrier, Daybreak Non-Profit Housing
Together, we can make a difference.
Hobin Architecture believes everyone deserves a safe place to live. This year, we are focusing on three organizations in our own community which provide critical housing and services to people in need. These charities need your generosity now more than ever. The important work they do is vital to our community and for many is a lifeline to a brighter future.
Rising food and energy prices are growing hurdles for charity groups who already operate on tight margins. And for these organizations, economic uncertainty has made planning a bleak and disheartening exercise.
But together, we can make a difference if we act fast.
Now in its fourth year, Hobin Architecture’s “You Give, We Give” campaign has matched $100,000 in donations to eight local charities:
- Multifaith Housing Initiative
- BGC Ottawa
- The Ottawa Mission
- Cornerstone Housing
- SPAO
- Ten Oaks Project
- Centre 507
- The Odawa Native Friendship Centre
Combined with our matched donations, the You Give, We Give program has generated over $500,000 while raising awareness of these important local charities.
Please give generously and we will do the same.
This spring, Hobin Architecture pledges to match new donations to three vital organizations in our community.
Here’s how it works. Visit the links below to make your first-time donation before July 1. Hobin Architecture will then make an equivalent donation to each charity, up to $40,000 in total.
This program is intended to stimulate new support for these organizations in need. Therefore, we are limiting the matching program to new donors. If you have donated before, please continue to do so—your financial support means the world to these organizations.
