Introduction

The Timeraiser helps nonprofit and voluntary organizations, large and small, connect with potential volunteers. We know Canadians in their 20s and 30s are one of the hardest demographics to reach. This is why we have put so much energy into ensuring the Timeraiser an easy way to connect with skilled and energetic volunteers.  

The three main objectives of the Timeraiser are to:

•   Connect your organization to skilled and energetic volunteers

•   Raise awareness about your organization in the community

•   Bring together the arts and not-for-profit sectors to create community connections

To date the Timeraiser has worked with over 250 charitable organizations.

Check out this brief agency workshop video to understand what is involved in being a Timeraiser agency.    

How the call works

Any charitable organization can apply online and submit an application.  A volunteer jury comprised of community members and Timeraiser volunteers who are well-versed in the local non profit community will then select which agencies will participate at the Timeraiser.  See the FAQ section for more details.

To apply on behalf of your agency, create a profile using the link below and complete the online application.  You can update and change the information in your profile at any time before the stated deadline in your city.
