How You Can Help

The needs in our community are big. But so is our collective capacity to meet them. At New Dawn, we believe in communities taking care of one another—and your gift is a part of that. Whether it’s a hot meal, a moment of connection, a space to create, or a safe place to land—your donation helps make those things possible. It’s not charity. It’s a shared investment in the kind of Cape Breton we want to live in.

Give in the Way That’s Right for You

Make a One-Time Gift

Other Ways to Give

Donating securities, starting a fundraiser, or giving in someone’s honor—there are many ways to be part of this.

What Your Gift Supports

Meals on Wheels

In the middle of winter storms, when the roads are barely passable, our drivers still deliver meals to seniors across Cape Breton. It’s not just about nutrition—it’s about dignity, safety, and connection.

“I think the program is just wonderful. I’m getting up there in age and this is such a big help.”
— Mary, Meals on Wheels recipient

Eltuek Arts Centre

A place for artists, community members, and guests to gather, create, and connect. From gallery exhibits to community workshops, your gift helps keep art visible and accessible.

“We don’t charge admission. We want people to come in and feel like they belong here.”
— Melissa Kearney, Artistic Director

A Note on Gratitude

We don’t take your support for granted. We know that every dollar given is a choice—and it means something that you’ve chosen this work. Whether you’re donating today or simply learning more, thank you for being here.
