Alongside Hope is the Anglican Church of Canada’s agency for sustainable development and relief. Keep reading to find out about emerging needs.

"In the wake of massive cuts to international development assistance by the U.S. Government and some European governments, Alongside Hope partners are reporting that progress is being undone, programs are being forced to shut down, and families and communities are living in uncertainty about their futures.

The damage is staggering. We cannot possibly fill all the gaps, but to maintain as many vital programs as possible, Alongside Hope is launching an urgent appeal to donors. Your support of the “Resilience Fund” will allow Alongside Hope to provide partners with additional support for refugees, HIV-related needs and for women recovering from gender-based-violence. Thanks to an extremely generous anonymous donor, all donations made to the Resilience Fund by June 30, 2025 will be matched, up to $250,000."
