Philanthropy - Westmount, Quebec, Canada
Founded in 2001 as the "Points to a Dream" Foundation, the Nellie Philanthropy Foundation (NPF) has expanded and grown into one of the most responsive grassroots foundations in Canada.The NPF is a Montreal-based Canadian charitable public foundation, committed to making a difference in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and around the world. Our main focus is to provide help to those who are less fortunate, whether they are underprivileged children, the homeless, seniors, or pregnant and lactating women, to name a few, although we have many programs that target the general public as well. Many donors would like to donate, but are unaware of the ways to do so. In light of this, the aim of the NPF is multi-faceted, with the overriding goal to facilitate and encourage charitable giving for donors and recipients alike.We believe strongly in food security and summer camp programs for children in all communities regardless of race, religion, colour or sexual orientation.The NPF is an incubator and aggregator of other charitable programs, call it the "Berkshire Hathaway" of philanthropic programs. We aim to democratize and remove the complexity of being involved in philanthropy. The NPF specializes in the concept of "Flash Philanthropy" or "Citizen Philanthropy". Like the notion of "Citizen Science", "Citizen Philanthropy" hopes to mobilize on the desire of donors to do good on their own, expeditiously, through their personal initiative, to be involved in charitable projects, whether they be "one-offs" or ongoing efforts without being bogged down by the constraints of larger charitable organizations.
