Alongside Hope today

Anglicans and partners working together in Canada and around the world

Alongside Hope is the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for sustainable development and relief. Since 1958, we have worked hand-in-hand with trusted partners in Canada and around the world on a journey of positive change. Together, we are improving health, food security and livelihoods where needs are greatest. Alongside Hope receives donations from people across Canada – Anglicans as well as non-Anglicans – and also receives funds from other sources, including Global Affairs Canada and institutional donors. Our volunteers promote Alongside Hope programs in churches and communities, to raise money and awareness about the needs of vulnerable people around the world. Our staff in Toronto are careful stewards of these funds and work to ensure that development and relief programs are as efficient and effective as possible. Alongside Hope is committed to working in diverse communities and does not proselytize in its work.
