With so much hardship and uncertainty in our industry right now we have expanded to better serve hospitality professionals across Canada.

WHO WE ARE

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.

TESTIMONIALS

“One day, during the usual February lull, an injury put me out of work for 10 days. I knew rent was going to be impossible. My friend reached out to Andrew and the Fund which gave me..., which covered most of my rent for March 1. It was a huge help, since I was/am not in a position to receive help financially from family.”

TESTIMONIALS

"I just wanted to say thank you again! Today I had to go and get insulin and diabetic supplies, and as you know, servers generally don't have benefits to cover items like these. You guys took a huge burden off of my shoulders and I will be forever grateful! I have shared your information with all those that I know in hopes of helping others as well. What you're doing is quite amazing!"
