The Dawn Community Fund: Accessible Therapy for Our Community
Community funded mental health support for individuals facing financial barriers.
What is the Dawn Community Fund?
At Dawn Therapy, we believe everyone deserves access to high-quality, professional mental health support regardless of their financial situation. The Dawn Community Fund is a clinic-backed, donor-supported subsidy program designed to help local Richmond Hill and Ontario residents overcome financial barriers to care. Donations to the community fund will go straight towards another client in need.
Rather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all framework, this program is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to meet you exactly where you are.
How it Works:
Applicants may contact our team to inquire about eligibility and fill out a confidential, brief application explaining your needs and goals. No tax returns or invasive financial records are required. Our team will get back to you regarding coverage options, which are based largely on individual need and current fund availability.
Interested sponsors may contact our team to donate any sum at any time during office hours, or add a contribution at the end of your own session during payment. 100% of these funds go straight toward subsidizing the sessions of community members in need.
How to Apply
NOTE: We are currently working on a donation page for our website. For the time being, online sponsors may donate to the fund by contacting our team directly via phone or email. We thank you for your patience and support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who qualifies for the Dawn Community Fund?
Local Richmond Hill and Ontario residents experiencing financial hardship who face barriers to accessing mental health care. Eligibility is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and is determined largely by individual need and current fund availability.
How much will I be expected to pay?
Because we must evaluate based on availlabilty, the fund can range from covering a significant percentage of your session costs to eliminating your out-of-pocket balance entirely ($0 cost).
Can I still apply if I am already subsidized through government or insurance?
Yes. Qualification is based completely on individual need. If you have existing coverage but still face financial gaps such as an out-of-pocket co-pays you can apply to have the fund cover those remaining expenses.
