National Philanthropy Day Message

November 15, 2025

From the Executive Director of St.Amant Foundation, Tania Douglas

Today, on National Philanthropy Day, we celebrate the incredible generosity and compassion from every donor that fuels St.Amant’s mission.

Philanthropy is about more than giving—it’s about believing in inclusion, dignity, and the limitless potential of every person we support. Every donor, volunteer, community partner and staff member helps create opportunities for people with disabilities to live fulfilling lives, participate fully, and feel deeply valued.

To our donors and supporters: your kindness changes lives. Truly. Because of you, St.Amant Foundation will continue to fund innovative programs, accessible spaces, and meaningful connections for thousands of people and families.

For example, Jordan, a member of the St.Amant community, needed a dog as a support animal and companion. Because of your generosity, the St.Amant Foundation was able to provide funding for the dog, training and supplies.

“Ever since I got my husky, Anakin, life’s been good. Happier, laughing and smiling more and a lot less anxious. I even peed myself laughing once because he was arguing with my mom. Seriously, he likes to talk. He has one of the most beautiful smiles and coat of a dog I’ve ever seen and I’m grateful to the St.Amant Foundation, my mom, Paws Crossed Animal Shelter and Adoption Centre, and God for my new forever friend. Thank you.” – Jordan

From the bottom of my heart and all those at St.Amant Foundation, thank you for standing with us, for believing in possibility, and for helping build a more inclusive and compassionate community.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Tania Douglas

Executive Director

St.Amant Foundation
