Director, Development 
(Mississauga) 

Base Salary $110,000 - $115,000 / Hybrid 
 
 
About 925,000 people feel lonely in Toronto at least three days of the week. That means many of our neighbours are lonely and 
isolated. They don’t want to be lonely and isolated. They are at much greater risk of leading a marginal existence because of 
their loneliness and isolation. They are at a much higher risk of self-harm. And those who are disconnected disproportionately 
live in poverty. 
 
When people think of a Crisis Centre, they often think of someone who is in immediate crisis, such as a person experiencing 
suicidal ideation or a person in the act of self- harm. Yet many people reach out to a crisis centre out of a need for simple human 
connection to get through the day. 
 
Established in 1967, Distress Centres of Greater Toronto (DCGT) is a service agency dedicated to providing timely emotional 
support, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention to people in distress. We are a group of well-trained individuals who are no 
different from you, driven by a strong will to help those in need. 
 
As a registered charity, we receive operational funding from the City of Toronto, United Way Greater Toronto, the Ministry of 
Health and the Region of Peel. This funding accounts for 30% of our operating budget. This means we must fundraise 70% 
(approximately $800,000) of our operating budget per year to provide our free 24-hour programs. 

Distress Centres of Greater Toronto is hiring a new Director, Development.
