The Silverlines Philanthropy Corporation is dedicated to improving quality of life and happiness of the National Capital Region. Silverlines accomplishes this goal by serving three main groups: - People with mood disorders. Silverlines runs an initiative called Sonrisa, which will organize, promote, and provide support for mental health groups in Ottawa-Gatineau. Additionally, Silverlines will facilitate free events in public spaces with the simple goal of brightening someone’s day. - Seniors in need of companionship. Through a program named Horiza, Silverlines coordinates volunteers at various hospitals and retirement centres around the city, helping ensure that no one feels lonely. Silverlines also donates to other charities in Ottawa-Gatineau that make a positive difference with our elderly residents. - Children suffering from a serious illness. Silverlines supports Child’s Play, a global charity that provides toys, books, movies, and videogames to children’s hospitals. Donations made through Silverlines go directly toward cheering up patients at CHEO. Through Kind Sol, Silverlines also coordinates social events for non-hospitalized sick children, at home and in care facilities like Rogers House. Silverlines’s initiatives are year-round, but we prioritize a third of the year for each campaign, to ensure that each receives adequate assistance. Sonrisa runs February-May, Horiza runs June-September, and Kind Sol runs October-January. Charitable tax id: #85013 7449 RR0001
