What we care about at the Holland Bloorview Foundation:

Innovation: We shake up old ways of doing things. We push the boundaries and create sector-leading fundraising experiences. We try, fail, and try again, only this time better.

Gratitude: We believe in the power of community to do good, and go out of our way to say thank you. We value the small and the large, the old and the new, and treat our community with respect and gratitude.

Inclusion: We value and amplify diverse voices - both in our workplace and in our work. We commit to ensuring our fundraising and communications practices are inclusive and that our vision includes all voices.

Teamwork: We lead with empathy, compassion, and respect. We work as a team, trusting and empowering each other to get things done, and rolling up our sleeves to help each other out when we need to. We have each other's backs, and recognize that ultimately, we're all working toward the same goal of creating a world of possibilities for kids with disabilities.

Joy: We find lightness and joy and support each other through the tough times. We share laughter, celebrate successes, and bring our whole selves to the workplace.

Integrity: We are thoughtful stewards of our community's donations and our client's stories. We live our values every day, and do the right thing, even when no one is looking.
