Our Partners
Over the years, Winnifred Stewart Association has been privileged to partner with several community organizations and businesses in promoting common interests. Some current corporate sponsors and partners include Daytona Homes, Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation, Mayfield Rotary Club, and Wild Rose Foundation.
All Donors and sponsors are recognized for their contributions on the Association's Wall of Honour. In particular, we would like to thank the Wild Rose Foundation for their grant of $40,400 which made the operational information management system, ShareVision, possible.
In developing partnerships, WSA makes every attempt to ensure the following criteria are met in order for the partnership to be successful*:
- Active involvement of both partners in the design and implementation of the partnership project or program.
- Mutually beneficial, creative, and sustainable solutions that meet organizational and partner needs.
- A wide spectrum of resources brought to the program by both partners. For business, this might include a mix of direct financial support and sponsorship dollars, in-kind contributions of resources, and involvement of employee volunteers. For WSA/WSF, this could mean involvement of individuals and staff, use of equipment and space, and volunteer opportunities.
- Maximum leverage of limited resources through the involvement and coordination of other private, voluntary sector, and government agencies. This could mean involving other organizations to meet the needs of all partners.
- Clearly identified measurement and evaluation criteria, developed as applicable to the project, showing the impact and benefit to the community and the partners.
