About Aunt Leah's Independent Lifeskills Society

Overview

Aunt Leah's Independent Lifeskills Society is a non-profit organization that provides residential and supported housing for youth and marginalized mothers through Aunt Leah's House, Support Link, and Thresholds programs. Additionally, they offer employment and lifeskills training for youth and families through The Link Program. Their mission is to help prevent children in foster care from becoming homeless and mothers in need from losing custody of their children. Aunt Leah's envisions a future where all children and youth grow up in safe, nurturing, and permanent families.

Mission

Aunt Leah's helps prevent youth from foster care from becoming homeless and vulnerable young mothers from losing custody of their children. We provide supported housing, coaching on essential life skills and employment and education services.

Vision

We believe that every child should have the love and support that most families provide to their children through early adulthood. We embrace individuality, diversity, and care for each other. All behaviour has meaning and is the human tool for communication. Success is fragile and must be tended to and supported with care. Community building ensures that we all have a place to go when we need support.

Unique Value Proposition

We offer youth and mothers the time they need to stabilize, gain confidence, and create a safe environment that allows them to transition to stable housing and employment. Fifty percent of our programming, which receives no government funding, is unique. Rather than provide time-limited services, we offer flexible, holistic approach combined with the strengths and resilience of the young people themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

WellFunded eliminates the inefficiencies, inequities and ineffectiveness of traditional fundraising by centralizing and standardizing the process. Instead of spending time on endless grant applications, you create a single, detailed profile that philanthropists and foundations can easily discover and fund. Our other tools like our centralized due diligence tool and "2 click grants" (coming soon) build off of this core concept: that we can make things radically better by centralizing them on one common platform.

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and if your charity matches their preferences, you will automatically be notified in your dashboard, and can send your portrait onward right through to their WellFunded dashboard. Sort of like applying to a job through LinkedIn Easy Apply.

WellFunded charges philanthropists presently. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. However, we will always have a free tier. We will introduce pricing once enough active donors use the platform to influence giving.

Instead of relying on cold proposals or personal networks, WellFunded helps you get in front of philanthropists actively looking to give in your area of impact. With advanced search tools and standardized due diligence, your work speaks for itself—helping you build trust and attract new donors.

Charity profiles include leadership information, financial data, and clear funding needs. Philanthropists can also see impact reports and follow the giving activity of other donors, creating a more open and transparent ecosystem.

Yes. WellFunded prioritizes data security and does not sell or share your private information outside the platform.
