What Seeds of Hope Foundation does

Seeds of Hope Foundation is a Canadian registered charity (#13929 8830 RR 0001), founded in 2001 with its current mission formalized in 2003, that delivers integrated social services to vulnerable populations across Ontario. The foundation operates from Toronto and runs additional sites in Kitchener/Waterloo, Burlington, and Durham Region. It serves individuals facing addiction, homelessness, and human-trafficking trauma, with reported reach of approximately 55,000 annual visits and 500 weekly visitors.

The organization's core programs span the full care continuum. Housing and shelter services include Broadview Homes (addiction recovery housing), Lazarus House (emergency shelter), and Concord Adex Homes (transitional housing for human-trafficking survivors). Outreach is delivered through Holy Trinity Church, and structured mental-health training is offered via WRAP and Peer Support programs. A diversified social-enterprise portfolio — Saint Joseph Table, Planet Geek, Reset Enterprise, Toronto Dollar, Tiny Houses, and Phones of Hope — generates earned revenue and beneficiary reintegration pathways. The model is approximately 95% volunteer-driven, with a paid headcount of 11-50 employees.

Revenue is sourced from foundation grants, corporate sponsorships (30+ documented supporters including Bell Let's Talk), individual donations, training fees, and vehicle donations, supplemented by event-driven fundraising such as Songs For Hope (2025). Leadership comprises Kimberly Curry (Executive Director), Jean-Martin Mabozi (Chair), Ian Lubek (Treasurer), and Jane Eniktap (Secretary). Operating budget is disclosed at $1.5M CAD annually.
