CUPE Local 79 receives hundreds of donation and sponsorship requests every year.
If your request is provincial or national in scope, we encourage you to direct it to CUPE Ontario or CUPE National — both of which Local 79 helps fund precisely so that broader movement work is possible.
For local requests, Local 79’s Executive has established clear priorities. We direct our members’ sponsorship dollars toward organizations rooted in Toronto whose core work builds community power — particularly where that work connects to the lives and labour of the people our members serve and the communities they are part of. That means organizations working on issues of equity, worker rights, and civic empowerment in this city.
If your organization fits this description, we welcome your application.
