Trinity Foundation · Ottawa
Bringing Ottawa together to give back.
Trinity Foundation is a volunteer-run initiative of two Ottawa parishes — St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral and the Greek Orthodox Church of Ottawa. We host events our communities love, and direct every dollar they raise to causes close to home.
- Volunteer-run
- 100% to the cause, 0% fees
- Two Ottawa parishes, one purpose
How we give
Good nights out, for good reasons.
Events people love
A golf tournament that ends with dinner at St. Elias. A comedy night where Italian, Lebanese and Greek comedians share one stage. Each one is planned so friends and families can come together.
Every dollar reaches the cause
Tickets, tables and sponsorships are processed by Zeffy, which charges the Foundation nothing — so 100% of what you give goes where we say it will.
Run by our community
Volunteers from both parishes plan, host and staff every event, and local businesses sponsor them.
Where the money goes
Causes our events support
Every event names its causes up front, and every ticket, table and sponsorship is directed to them.
