"By 2005, nearly 1 in 5 of Toronto’s two-parent families were low-income, compared to approximately 1 in 10 at the national, provincial and rest of Toronto CMA levels. For lone-parent families, incredibly, more than 50% were low-income in 2005."
– Frances Lankin, President & CEO, United Way of Greater Toronto

“By offering donors more engagement and more education, SVP aims to deliver more money and more time for worthy causes — expanding the pie of charitable dollars in Toronto.”
