A big thank you to everyone who made a donation this past #GivingTuesday to help support our students who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

Every dollar truly can make a big difference for a struggling student.

For those who have not yet had a chance to make their gift, but would like to support students through a donation to the SOS Fund – there’s still time! Humber will match gifts to this fund until December 31 so that each donation can go twice as far to help even more students in need.  

To make a donation, please visit humber.ca/SOSFund. If you would like to sign up for payroll deductions, please click here.

If you would like to increase your current payroll donations, or if you have any questions please contact Melissa Beauchamp, Director Annual and Leadership Giving at melissa.beauchamp@humber.ca.

Last month we launched a new publication highlighting the work of the Faculty of Social and Community Services and the Principal’s Office here at Humber College. This publication shines a light on our amazing faculty and staff, and the ways in which we work with students and our community to change lives.

Thank you to all who contributed to the magazine and the work that is highlighted.

Each year, the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Greater Toronto Chapter honours leadership in philanthropy through its Philanthropy Awards program. These awards celebrate the outstanding contributions of time, leadership and financial support of a special group of Canadians who set new benchmarks of excellence in the acts of giving and volunteering.

This year, The Barrett Family Foundation is being honoured in the Outstanding Foundation or Philanthropic Group award category. This category recognizes a private foundation that has demonstrated outstanding commitment through financial support and through encouragement and motivation of others to take leadership roles toward philanthropy and local, national and/or international community involvement. Humber nominated The Barrett Family Foundation for their extraordinary commitment to the college as well as other organizations in Canada and abroad.

Taking the time to recognize the impact of philanthropy has never been more important than during COVID-19. While the AFP’s 2020 Philanthropy Awards celebration will be held virtually this year, it is vitally important to shine a light on the power of philanthropy to impact our community and country for the better.

The contributions of The Barrett Family Foundation, Bob Barrett and Francine Rouleau-Barrett to Humber have touched the lives of students, faculty, staff and industry partners throughout our community. Humber extends its congratulations to all recipients of the AFP 2020 Philanthropy Awards.
