Monthly Donor Spotlight
Giving back to the community has always been important to Deborah Windsor and her late husband, Howard.
When they started donating to the Foundation over a decade ago, they felt there was a critical need for increased mental health supports in Nova Scotia.
“Struggles with mental health impact everyone, either directly or indirectly,” says Deborah. “No one is immune. It’s important to make sure people in our community are connected to the supports they need to take care of their mental health.”
The Windsors’ contributions began as annual donations but after a few years they transitioned to monthly giving. The Foundation’s commitment to funding a range of supports — from counselling services to nature therapies and peer support groups — appealed to the community-minded family.
“We like the fact that the Foundation is community-based and that it looks broadly at solutions,” says Deborah. “Supporting mental health should be recognized as a community need, especially in terms of building a healthier society.”
