ABOUT CAMH

Hi! I’m Lauren Daab, Director, Principal Giving. At CAMH Foundation, I have had the opportunity to be part of an organization and a cause that are growing in both scale and impact. I am here because the work matters, the team is exceptional, and I get to do the kind of fundraising that makes a real difference.

I believe the key to an excellent Senior Philanthropy Officer is not just technical skills but the knowledge of the organization’s business, asking the right questions, listening to the answers, and believing in the organization’s mission.

The organization conducts ground-breaking research, provides expert training to healthcare professionals and scientists, develops innovative health promotion and prevention strategies, and advocates on public policy issues at all levels of government.

CAMH Foundation is charged with raising and stewarding funds in support of CAMH. Its role is to help transform the way we understand and address mental illness by raising awareness and increasing engagement across the country. Generous and dedicated supporters help CAMH advance discovery and innovation, build spaces that promote recovery, and break down the stigma of mental illness.

As members of the team, we are committed to being positive culture carriers, adaptable change agents, clear, proactive communicators and to leading a culture of helpfulness.
