Appendix 2 OHK Fundraising Plan 2009-2010

28

OHKFundraisingPlan2009­2010Our Home Kikinaw (OHK) is a project of the Thompson Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation (TNRC) that will assist low income families in achieving homeownership by providing them with the opportunity to purchase a no-profit home. The project is structured in accordance with many of Habitat for Humanity Winnipeg’s policies and procedures. It is the goal of OHK to complete one home build during the summer of 2010.

It will take a blend of government funding, corporate sponsorship, individual and organizational support to achieve our goal of $281,996.73. Below is a breakdown of what has been secured to date, what is still pending and future plans.

Various grants and proposals: • Manitoba Housing and Renewal Corporation - Pending

• Thompson Community Foundation - Pending

• Assiniboine Credit Union - $5,000.00

• Thompson Urban Aboriginal Strategy – $36,000.00

• Neighbourhood Renewal Fund - $31,800.00

• TNRC Small Grants Fund - $2,500.00

• Inco - Pending

• City of Thompson – $54,000.00 to purchase the land and services to the property line

Working with local charitable organizations and businesses will diversify OHK’s access to donations. Donations Received to date: • Christian Fellowship Centre - $15,000.00

• Local businesses – merchandise for christmas raffle

• Bullmarket Consulting – Marketing Resources

Donations of materials and resources are being requested from various companies throughout the province, with the focus being in Thompson. To date we have managed to secure donations from:

Two signature events are also being developed to launch in 2010 to further market OHK and provide a steady stream of revenue, adding to the stability and longevity of the project.

1. Home Makeover Gala 2. Ladies Night Out 3. Poker Tournament

Partnerships We have established partnerships with Thompson Boys and Girls Club Youth Build Program and RD Parker Construction and Carpentry Program. These partnerships are providing access to a semi-skilled labour pool, facilities to prefabricate parts of the home, some storage space, use of tools, etc. Furthermore, we are applying for dollars to provide youth with summer employment, giving them a chance to further hone their skills and supporting the development of skilled trades’ people in the North. Future Fundraising Plans As part of the ongoing efforts to raise the necessary funds for the current build and create a solid foundation for the project to grow on our fundraising plan spans the course of the year and is designed to be annual events. Some of the plans that are slated to happen include:

• Apply to Royal Bank of Canada for donations • Continue to request donations for building materials and supplies • Partner with the Thompson Humane Society for a community wide monthly 50/50 draw

30

• Buy a brick campaign • Revenue from mortgages of the homes we sell • Request support from local businesses • Assiniboine Credit Union to provide a line of credit

By accessing funds from all levels of government (Municipal, Provincial and Federal)and engaging the private and public sector, Our Home Kikinaw is poised to grow into the Affordable Homeownership Program that is absent in the North. The demographics of Thompson include 36% of our population being Aboriginal. Couple this with the average rate of homeownership among Aboriginal people being %20 compared to 70% of Non- Aboriginals and with our policy that acknowledges this disparity, OHK will provide a population that is systematically marginalized an opportunity to acquire assets, move out of poverty and further enhance their quality of life and the greater community overall.
