TORONTO — Tim Hortons has raised more than $800,000 for Indigenous organizations through the fourth-annual Orange Sprinkle Doughnut fundraising campaign.
The proceeds from the doughnut sales are being donated to the Orange Shirt Society, the Indian Residential School Survivors Society, the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund, Ulnooweg Education Centre, and in Quebec, New Pathways Foundation.
The fundraising campaign was developed in 2021 by a group of Indigenous Tim Hortons restaurant owners and to date has raised more than $4.4 million for Indigenous organizations.
“The Orange Shirt Society extends its sincere appreciation to Tim Hortons for its commitment to Reconciliation and for providing a platform for all Canadians to unite and foster education and awareness through the Orange Sprinkle Doughnut campaign,” says Shannon Henderson, president of Orange Shirt Society. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this journey of healing and reconciliation. With the proceeds from the Orange Sprinkle Doughnut campaign, we can sustain our initiatives, including the Orange Jersey Project, Every Child Matters Crosswalk, Quilt for Survivors, Survivor Speaker Series, and our 2026 Educational Event.”
“Every dollar raised through the Orange Sprinkle Doughnut campaign reflects the strength of community and collaboration,” says Angela White, executive director of the IRSSS. “In IRSSS’s case, these donations are essential in sustaining our cultural, wellness, and crisis support programs, which often receive limited funding. By contributing to this campaign, you help us extend our reach, enabling us to support not only Indian Residential School Survivors but also families impacted by the intergenerational trauma left by the residential school system. Your generosity fosters healing, empowerment, and justice across generations.”
