FreeSchools World Literacy is a registered Canadian charity that works to end illiteracy among the world's poorest. We believe illiteracy and ignorance go hand in hand and are the root causes of extreme poverty. This leads to violence, discrimination, human trafficking, and ultimately human suffering. We seek to end this by providing a low-cost, non-formal education to those who need it most. We have 79 schools in operation in parts of India and Thailand, and have improved the lives of over 3,000 people. Through our field partners we secure a donated and safe environment - helping to keep our costs very low - and hire a local teacher who truly understands their community. Our program is secular and does not impose any Western value: instead we encourage each school to evolve on its own. Help us break the cycle of extreme poverty and violence against these most vulnerable of people by donating today.

Hancock Wildlife Foundation believes that through education and research we can better conserve our wildlife resources in the face of human interaction. Given time and encouragement the wildlife of our planet can co-exist with man as shown by the tremendous resurgence of the bald eagle in urban and suburban areas after being almost wiped out by poorly thought out laws and human greed. The Hancock Wildlife Foundation is seeking funding for projects which include research and conservation initiatives. As the foundation grows, we will hire more staff-many younger talented people committed to our cause must still make a living. As David Hancock says, "If we can support that, then that is marvelous. However, it is both my position and belief that we will also find, already have found, so many additional talented people with some time (and or dollars) to give that "community stewardship". You, the volunteers, the stewards' of your community, my community-earth, are our biggest asset."

For 47 years, Prologue to the Performing Arts has been broadening the horizons of students in Ontario by introducing them to the world of the performing arts. We believe that experiencing live performing arts is essential to a fuller and richer appreciation and understanding of the arts and of humanity. Exposure to the performing arts enhances the development of self-expression, critical and imaginative thinking and communication skills. The professional artists’ contribution is crucial and should be recognized, honored and supported by structures that allow them to grow artistically. All Canadian young people and families are entitled to equal access to the performing arts.

DanStaBat Performance Society, DBA Tara Cheyenne Performance (TCP), is devoted to the creation and dissemination of highly physical, character-driven solo works that uniquely blend movement and text. Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg is the Artistic Director of TCP. Friedenberg's artistic vision is to create works that speak to people on the levels of common human experience, our own comic-tragic behaviour, our lives in movement, gesture and dream. The innovative and engaging works are inspired by an interest in a sense of the absurd. The work creates comedy that illuminates and inspires - it is social criticism that flirts with satire and the ridiculous.
