Since we launched in 2015, we’ve learned a lot about the power of philanthropy - which is just another word for doing good. Philanthropy connect strangers to one another, brings communities together, educates, and offers meaning to our lives. We believe that philanthropy is an often-overlooked tool that can benefit companies internally (connect employees, support strategic objectives, create meaningful content), and offer positive social impact in the community, by supporting charities and non-profits that are committed to improving our world. That’s why WeDoSomething has been offering consulting services since 2018 to:
The private sector : We help companies do good for their brand, for their employees and for the community at large. We design community-focused activities and workshops that align with your company’s mission and values; that take into account the interests of your employees; and that benefit social causes and the non-profit sector.
Foundations/non-profits: We help foundations and non-profits find new ways to connect with their donors. We believe that donors want meaning above all - so we help design it into everything you do, from your communication strategy to your fundraising initiatives.

June 2019 : Accueil & Amitié x Tourisme Montréal
(fr ci-dessous)
Challenge: To design a team-building activity that reflects the mission of Tourisme Montréal (= WELCOMING) as well as the interests of their 80 employees.
Context: The employees of Tourisme Montréal have 2 key things in common - they are truly passionate about their city, and like many of us, they don’t have enough time to enjoy the city they love.
What we did: We offered the Tourisme Montréal team a chance to share their passion for Montreal by becoming tour guides for new Montrealers. Imagine two tourist buses filled with 65 employees and 45 new Montrealers aged 3 weeks to 63 years, from Bangladesh, Nigeria, Syria and more.
Thanks to the generosity of Tourisme Montréal’s many tourism partners, we visited the Oratoire St. Joseph, Saint Viateur bagel, the Belvedere Kondiaronk and Old Montreal: the team got to see the city through the eyes of their new friends, and their guests got a taste of what Tourisme Montréal’s core value: making people feel welcome here.
This project would not have been possible without the collaboration of our friends at the YMCA Residence and Welcome Collective!
Défi : De concevoir une journée d’équipe pour les 80 employés de Tourisme Montréal, le 18 juin 2019, en prenant en compte les valeurs de la compagnie + les intérêts de leurs employés.
Contexte :
Ce que nous avons fait : L’équipe de Montréal Tourisme va dévouer sa journée de team-building à partager notre passion pour Montréal avec les nouveaux arrivés et aux demandeurs d’asile qui ont choisi Montréal comme leur nouvelle demeure, en partenariat avec la Résidence YMCA et WeDoSomething Mtl.
We designed ACCUEIL + AMITIÉ, a day that transformed Tourisme Montréal’s employees into tour guides for people who are new to the city. We worked with the Tourisme Montréal employees to co-create a day that would do them good,
Nous cherchons à leur offrir le meilleur de la ville : des attractions qu’ils ne pourraient pas s’offrir eux-mêmes, une vue sur des quartiers qu’ils ne connaissent pas ainsi que notre amitié, car un des plus grand défis pour les nouveaux arrivés, c’est de s’intégrer. Souvent ils n’ont accès qu’à d’autres nouveaux arrivés, et il est difficile pour eux de faire connaissance à des soi-disant ‘vrais’ montréalais.
