Create long-lasting change in your community

Help make Ottawa a better place

Ottawa is known for many things: ByWard Market, Parliament Hill, and the Rideau Canal just to name a few. But from poverty-related issues, to mental health and environment conservation, the need for change and action in Ottawa is great.

Only choosing one cause to support can be extremely difficult when you want to make an impact close to home. By supporting the Ottawa Fund by Unite for Change, you don’t have to choose. You can support a wide array of causes all working to strengthen and improve your city.

A new way to support ByTown

We need your support to create a stronger and more vibrant Ottawa.

The Ottawa Fund includes hundreds of small and medium-sized local charities that offer a variety of programs and services such as mental health support, nature conservation, homeless shelters, food banks, and much more.
