Daily Bread Food Bank (Research Dossier)








Of the three charities I looked at, Toronto's Daily Bread Food Bank is the one in the most dire need of a new campaign. The Toronto Humane Society and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) don't have fantastic campaigns but I think they're better off than Daily Bread. The identity for Daily Bread was recently redesigned in 2007, but they don't have a new campaign to match. A download of my research dossier is linked to the title.

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation provides trees and grants for those who are looking to plant fruit trees, vegetables, nuts and other edible plant life. They work locally and globally, and although founded in 2002 are starting to get some major attention from media and have had great successes on First Nations reservations and abroad, in places like Kenya and India. They are currently looking to work in North America.

3 charities



Children's Aids Foundation

The Children's Aids Foundation is directed for children across Canada. It is an national foundation, created in 1979. What is unique about this NGO is that 100% of the donations is given to the people in need. This is because they have a secondary source to cover the administrative expenses.
