Funding The Harbour
EDFC’s vision of creating an innovative treatment program at The Harbour was only possible with the help of many committed volunteers, donors and corporate sponsors. This core support over many years has enabled the leasing of space, fitting out our premises, staffing with experienced nurses and therapists and then opening the door to deliver treatment through a subsidized model of care.
Now, in The Harbour’s operational stage, it’s all about coming together as a community to raise funds to fill the financial gap in medical care for young adults with this challenging disorder. Here are three ways to support this cause.
#1 Support our Fundraising Events
The Harbour was launched with three legendary events at the London Music Hall. With the passionate involvement of a team of volunteers, auction donors, the gatherings raised tens of thousands to put EDFC in a position to open its treatment facility.
As captured in this video, our October 2025 event we raised funds and awareness of the need for timely treatment. It was quite a party.
We will be doing it again on October 22, 2026. If you would like to be on the notification list for tickets to upcoming events, organize a group or join our volunteer team please let us know by signing up here.
#2 Tie up at The Harbour
EDFC choose to name its treatment centre The Harbour to convey how it represents a place of safety and recovery for young adults with a complex and critically underfunded mental illness.
You could be in a position to throw out a lifeline to rescue someone you do not know. You may even save their life.
EDFC welcomes your lifeboat of generosity to tie up at our dock as an expression of your concern and benevolence by making a one-time or monthly donation to fund The Harbour.
We gladly accept your generousity via e-transfer as well, please use donations@edfc.ca
#3 Our Sponsorship Program
Over the years EDFC has been supported by corporations, family foundations and individuals. In appreciation of their support as a regular contributing sponsor of the Eating Disorders Foundation of Canada, we have developed a Sponsorship Program recognizing five levels of supporting donations over the years.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss opportunities to align your charitable interests with the vision of EDFC to make early treatment of eating disorders available to those that need it.
The Eating Disorders Foundation of Canada (EDFC)is a donor-funded federally registered charitable organization addressing the need for education, research and support services for those with eating disorders.
A long-time champion of the need for residential recovery support for those with eating disorders, EDFC is currently engaged in opening The Harbour, a project that would support university and college aged young adults in a regular and comprehensive manner. As a innovative pilot, it may serve as a model throughout Canada.
