Our Vision

The Recovery Ecosystem  encompasses all the needed resources and services for people struggling with Substance Use Disorder and mental health, communities impacted by SUD and mental health, and to create solidarity amongst service providers.


The Recovery Ecosystem has been designed to forge long-lasting partnerships between service providers with the goal of ensuring health, wellness, and increased quality of life for those accessing the service.

The Problems

Fragmented Services

01

Addiction and mental health services in Canada operate in silos, making access to care difficult.

02

Real-time Services

Wait lists, and referral packages hinder the ability to access real-time service.

03

Money, Ego, and Turf (MET) Conflicts

Funding competition and power struggles between organizations limit collaboration.

Outdated Funding Models

04

Current philanthropic and government funding models do not track real-time service impact, reducing efficiency.

05

Manpower

Smaller providers or operators may not have the ability to have staff able to track and apply for funding grants or fill out RFP's.

The Solution

People who need assistance enter our system at any of our partner organizations, and as their needs are assessed, our centralized hub coordinates addiction services, housing, mental health services, and access to food items through community offerings, ensuring seamless access for individuals.

The model:


  • Single point entry for real-time services


  • Uses data-driven decision-making to track real-time service outcomes.


  • Ensures inclusive funding, allowing diverse providers to participate.


  • Reduces administrative barriers and improves service coordination.

FAQ

New to Cause Funds?

  • What is a Cause Fund?

    Cause Funds address a common roadblock for donors: they know what they care about but are unsure where to channel their support to create meaningful impact. Cause Funds give donors an opportunity to give to a cause rather than to a single charity to make a greater impact.


    Cause Funds work with leading experts that bring people and organizations that are working together to solve the same issues alongside a coordinated strategy. Our model is people-centric, grounded in human wisdom, and focused on community building, setting us apart from other Cause Fund models. To learn more about Cause Funds, please visit this website.

  • What are the benefits of Cause Funds?

    Cause Funds at Charitable Impact offer several key benefits:

    ● Give donors an opportunity to learn from and connect with causal experts and leaders

    ● Connect donors and organizations who are working towards a common goal

    ● Build a community of donors who all care about the same cause

    ● Provide donors with the opportunity to fundraise within their own networks for the causes they care about, directly through the Charitable Impact platform.

    ● Distribute funds to high-impact organizations working together to achieve impact

    ● Through trusted leadership and transparent reporting, Cause Funds provide donors with greater confi dence that their donations are being used to achieve long term impact

  • Why do Cause Funds matter?

    What sets Charitable Impact Cause Funds apart is a commitment to human-centred leadership and decision-making. Unlike other Cause Funds that might lean solely on data or disperse funds evenly among charities, we put individuals with real-life experiences at the helm.


    The leaders understand the complexities and nuances of the issues fi rsthand, making them uniquely qualifi ed to set goals, develop action plans, and allocate funds. Our Cause Funds are driven by a deep understanding of the challenges and a shared commitment to creating meaningful change.
