Since our founding in 1983, our purpose has been clear: to ensure that cost is never a barrier to care. We share the mission, values and vision of Renascent.
We are the philanthropic arm of Renascent, one of Ontario’s leading providers of evidence-based, trauma-informed addiction treatment. With your support, the Foundation works hand-in-hand with Renascent’s clinical teams to fund high-quality care and innovative programming for individuals and families healing from substance use and concurrent mental health disorders.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, the Foundation supports:
Every dollar you give helps someone take the next step toward healing.
Whether it’s a child attending a healthy coping skills retreat, a parent reconnecting with their family, or someone finding strength in their first sober days—you are part of that transformation.
We are committed to transparency, accountability, and gratitude.
You have the right to know how your gift is used and the impact it makes. We uphold the Donor Bill of Rights and strive to build lasting relationships rooted in trust and shared purpose.
We’re here for you. Take a look at our frequently asked questions below—you might find just what you need.

While some of our programs do receive government support, not all are fully funded. Donations play a vital role in helping us offer life-changing care through programs like our Family, Alumni, and Continuing Care Programs, which currently receive no government funding.
Philanthropy also helps bridge the gap between the funding we receive for our Inpatient Treatment Program and the actual cost of delivering this care. With your support, we can ensure more people — and their loved ones — get the help they need to heal and thrive.
