Help Us Grow Forests of Hope Across Canada
Forest of Hope is a program of the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention that sees a living, growing forest of hope established in a different community each year, through community development, engagement and collaboration. As the Forest of Hope’s tagline suggests, we’re “growing hope and healing hearts, one tree at a time”.
Consider becoming a Forest of Hope Guardian today. Make a lasting impact by supporting this inspiring, life affirming initiative, while honouring the many lives impacted by suicide each year. Your gift helps grow a forest rooted in love, remembrance, hope and healing, and supports the vital work of the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention.
The Impacts of Your Donation:
- Honours those who died by suicide, those impacted by suicide and those who have hope for a world without suicide.
- It offers a natural space and a symbol of hope and healing for those affected by suicide.
- Supports the vital work of CASP, including advocacy, communication and education for suicide prevention and life promotion efforts.
Every gift matters. Every tree planted, every path created, every name remembered, and every person supported, is made possible by the generosity of people like you. Whether you give $5 or $500, your support helps grow a Forest of Hope, offering healing and hope to those impacted by suicide.
As a gesture of deep appreciation, donors who contribute $1,000 or more will be recognized as Forest of Hope Guardian on our donor wall, a lasting tribute of their commitment to preventing suicide and to promoting life and living for all Canadians.
