Turning Leases into Lasting Impact: $150,150 Raised for Communities Across Canada in 2024
2024 Keys for Impact: Caring for our Communities campaign,
At CAPREIT, our mission goes beyond providing homes. We strive to be a driving force for positive change in the communities we serve. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the success of our inaugural 2024 Keys for Impact: Caring for our Communities campaign, which raised an incredible $150,150 to support charitable organizations across Canada.
Through this initiative, a portion of new rental revenue was directed to charities that align with our values of inclusion, sustainability, and social responsibility. This campaign, part of our broader CAPGiving program, reflects our unwavering commitment to giving back and ensuring that every new lease contributes to a brighter future for those in need.
A Collaborative Effort to Strengthen Communities
The success of Keys for Impact is a testament to the collective effort of our residents, employees, and partners. Together, we supported the following remarkable organizations:
- Food Banks Canada (Mississauga, ON)—Combating hunger nationwide by supporting food banks and community organizations.
- FoodShare Toronto (Toronto, ON)—Promoting equitable access to healthy food through innovative programs and partnerships.
- Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver (Burnaby, BC)—Building affordable homes and fostering stability for families.
- Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids (Calgary, AB)—Providing nutritious lunches to school-aged children.
- Leftovers Foundation (Calgary, AB)—Reducing food waste and redistributing surplus food to those in need.
- REACH Regina (Regina, SK)—Improving community access to nutritious food through local programs.
- Dans la rue (Montreal, QC)—Supporting homeless and at-risk youth with resources and opportunities.
- Le Chaînon (Montreal, QC)—Providing shelter and support to women experiencing crisis or homelessness.
- Hope Blooms (Halifax, NS)—Empowering youth through food security and entrepreneurial programs.
- Shelter Nova Scotia (Halifax, NS)—Offering housing and support services to those experiencing homelessness.
These organizations tackle pressing issues such as food insecurity, housing instability, and youth empowerment—causes that resonate deeply with our residents and employees. By partnering with them, we’re amplifying efforts to address critical challenges and foster sustainable solutions.
Creating a Lasting Legacy
Keys for Impact is more than just a campaign; it’s a promise to our communities. As an annual initiative during the months of November and December, it underscores CAPREIT’s commitment to giving back and creating meaningful outcomes. With each new lease, we’re building not just homes, but opportunities for growth, hope, and resilience.
In 2024, we reached a milestone—raising $150,150—is just the beginning. We’re excited to continue this journey, growing the impact of this campaign and continuing to support these vital causes in the future. Our residents and employees can take pride in knowing they are part of a collective effort to create tangible, lasting change.
A Heartfelt Thank You
We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of Keys for Impact. Whether you signed a lease, shared our story, or partnered with us, your support made this incredible achievement possible. Together, we’ve shown the power of community and the difference we can make when we unite for a common cause.
As we look ahead, we invite you to stay connected and join us in future CAPGiving initiatives. Together, we’ll continue to unlock the potential of our communities and build a better tomorrow, one key at a time.
