Wood’s Homes Foundation

Wood’s Homes Foundation - Passionately promoting the work of Wood’s Homes

The Foundation seeks philanthropic support for programs, services and facilities at Wood’s Homes and has raised over $43 million since 2001. Working together with Wood’s Homes, the Foundation identifies fundraising priorities and aligns them with generous donations from individual and corporate supporters.

In recent years, the Foundation raised capital funds for the Annie Wood Centre and the Whole Family Treatment Program, housed in the Vermilion Energy Family Centre. It continues to raise funds for our Specialized Employment Training Programs (YCAP & LEAD), vulnerable, multi-barriered youth (Inglewood Opportunity Hub), Crisis & Counselling Services, Family Centred Care and other priorities for Wood’s Homes.
