Request for Proposal:&nbsp;Campaign Strategy and Fundraising Capacity Building Consultant Services&nbsp;1. Introduction&nbsp;HF Care (formerly Hong Fook Mental Health Association) is a fully accredited charitable organization serving communities across the Greater Toronto Area in English and five additional languages: Cambodian, Cantonese, Korean, Mandarin and Vietnamese. Established in 1982, HF Care has been a provincial leader, providing a continuum of mental health services for Asian communities with locations in Toronto and Markham. Its work creates ripples of healing—from individuals finding help, to families finding hope, to communities learning that mental health care is strength, not weakness.&nbsp;HF Care Foundation (formerly Hong Fook Mental Health Foundation) drives change through philanthropy by providing HF Care with critical support through the generosity of its donors. In 2001, a small group of HF volunteers came together to ensure the organization had a long-term sustainability plan, to meet the growing needs of our community and expand beyond the limits of public funding. The Foundation created a new philanthropic “table” where the historically unmet needs of the Asian communities could be prioritized.&nbsp;On October 30, 2025, HF Care unveiled our new 2026–2029 Strategic Plan and completed a rebrand from Hong Fook Mental Health Association to HF Care. This evolution is driven by our commitment to deepening our culturally rooted model of care and reaching more families across diverse communities.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Plan outlines a strategic expansion across programmatic, geographic, and organizational levels, driven by our vision to foster connected communities where every person can live their fullest, most meaningful life. To support the execution of this Plan, we require a fundraising campaign strategy and model refresh to significantly boost our capacity in donor engagement.&nbsp;Read more: <a href="https://hfcare.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Annual-Report-Digital.pdf" target="_blank">Annual Report&nbsp;</a>&nbsp; <a href="https://www.flipsnack.com/9DEFBD5EFB5/hf-care-strategic-plan-2026-2029" target="_blank">Strategic Plan 2026-2029&nbsp;</a>2.
