You belong in this work.
ROAR is entirely volunteer-powered. Every action — from a $25 donation to a year of one-on-one support — makes a direct difference.
Give what you can
Your tax-deductible donation helps cover the real costs of resettlement: housing deposits, groceries, bus passes, warm clothing, language courses. ROAR is a registered charity and all gifts receive a tax receipt.

Join - or start - a sponsorship group
A ROAR sponsorship group is a team of five or more people who commit to supporting one LGBTQI+ refugee for their first year in Canada. You provide practical help, financial support, friendship, and a connection to the community.
Lend your expertise
ROAR benefits from people who bring professional skills — communications, legal support, marketing, photography, event planning. If you have a skill, we want to hear from you.
