BARTENDERS BENEVOLENT FUND

What they do:

Created in 2013, the Bartenders Benevolent Fund is a nationally registered non-profit and financial resource for hospitality professionals in Canada. although we have some operational costs, we are mostly powered by volunteers from across the country, who help us to provide support and resources to hospitality professionals throughout Canada. We provide funding for those who have fallen under serious financial hardship, and programming to elevate our industry and those within it. Our funds are awarded anonymously by local hospitality professionals from each market.

The Bartenders Benevolent Fund’s mandate is to offer support to the hospitality industry, by the hospitality industry.

The 1st instalment presented to BBF by GFH was managed in the following way;

These funds were intended for recipients to use towards personal home rent, groceries, mental health assistance and medical expenses.
