About

Two parishes, one purpose

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.

Our events are built around the things our communities already do well: gathering, hosting, and looking after each other. 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 organized by volunteers, supported by local sponsors, and priced so that friends and families can come together.

Every event names its causes up front. Because tickets, tables and sponsorships are processed through Zeffy, the Foundation pays no platform fees — the full amount of every purchase goes to the causes that event supports.

We are not a large organization, and we don't try to be. We are neighbours who host a few very good nights a year and make sure the money goes exactly where we said it would.

How it works

From a ticket to a cheque

  1. 1

    You buy a ticket, a table or a sponsorship

    Online, on this site, with a card. The checkout is run by Zeffy, a payment platform built for non-profits.

  2. 2

    Zeffy charges us nothing

    Zeffy is free for non-profits and is funded by optional tips from buyers. The Foundation keeps 100% of your payment.

  3. 3

    Volunteers run the event

    The venue, the show, the dinner — organized and staffed by people from both parishes, with local businesses sponsoring the night.

  4. 4

    The proceeds go to the causes

    Each event's page names its causes before you buy, and what is raised is directed to them.
