Our 501c3 non-profit organization has been featured in over 300 media outlets nationally over the last year. We provide free lawn care to elderly and other people who need it through our volunteer network. In order to build on this momentum, feedback received from peers suggests exploring the option of opening a for-profit division catering to landscapers for people who have the means -- which can contribute towards growing the non-profit still as the central focus?

Just looking to explore the idea and if it's worth the effort. Weigh pros and cons, Steps required, etc.

For nearly 50 years, The Alex has served as a hub to provide thoughtful, comprehensive care to vulnerable Calgarians. With programs that utilize clinical and social components, The Alex tackles tough health and social issues head-on, with a preventative, cost-effective approach. The Alex serves a community with complex health needs, often the result of issues such as poverty, trauma, homelessness, or addiction. At The Alex whole health is the goal.

The Alex is an example of the crucial role that strategic social supports play in not only making our communities stronger, but being a “part of the fixing” as we recreate our communities all over again, to create positive and lasting change for local lives. United Way is building a foundation for strong communities by investing in services and supports that strengthen and connect all residents.

After the virtual Tour of the Alex, help individuals to build those meaningful relationships and feel more included in the social life of their communities by writing an encouraging note to a senior alone in their homes or retirement residences who needs uplifting. We’ll collect these thought-filled notes and send them to our network of agencies who interact with these individuals everyday. We might not all be expert writers but all of us can write a note from the heart and make someone feel that they are cared for or thought about.
