Who We Are
ODF was established in 2001 for the purpose of supporting charitable objectives through long-term, sustainable sources of funding. Overall, the Foundation strives to enable Deaf people to participate as positive, contributing members of society in Canada.
How We Operate
The Ontario Deaf Foundation’s (ODF) charitable focus is guided by two core operating principles:
- Utilize a funds model where capital investments generate the income necessary to fulfill its charitable goals;
- Prioritize direct financial support to registered charities over direct, hands-on involvement by ODF in charitable activities.
Funds
Each endowment fund is dedicated to supporting specific charitable activities defined by its founding mandate. Five distinct Funds currently provide funding to ODF’s initiatives.
How to make a donation
Your donation is a vital investment that will turn ODF’s vision into reality. When we work together, we win together for the benefit of our Deaf community and society.
