KSSS provides social prescribing support for vulnerable older adults across the rural and remote Kootenay region of British Columbia — connecting them with trained volunteer navigators who provide consistent, person-centred support across 24 communities and 26,000 km². Corporate and community partners help us reach more of the older adults on our waitlists — and can direct their support to a specific community of their choice.
We operate where most charities and grant-funded programs can't easily reach — across the rural and remote communities of the Kootenays, in clients' homes, on the phone, and on the road.
Demand still exceeds capacity across every community we serve. Your partnership expands the reach of a model that’s already working.
Most partnership pitches sound the same. Here's what KSSS actually delivers, in plain terms.
We report annually against Healthy Aging Index criteria, with volunteer surveys, client interviews, hours of direct service, and outcomes data published for every partner to see.
Social prescribing targets older adults facing isolation, declining health, and limited rural services — a population most CSR and grant programs struggle to reach. We have the volunteer infrastructure and regional presence to deliver.
Logo placement on our website, in our annual report, and at sponsored events. Optional: named programs, employee engagement days, and joint media at the level you choose.
Pick the level that matches your capacity. At every tier, your partnership can be tied directly to a specific Kootenay community, with a year-end community impact report you can share with your team, board, or membership.
See how community designation worksCustom partnerships welcome. Multi-year commitments, event sponsorships, and in-kind gifts are all part of how we work — if you don't see what you have in mind, ask.
A meaningful annual commitment that signals long-term support for the work and gets you visible across our core channels.
For partners who want their team involved in the work, not just associated with it. Adds engagement and named recognition.
For partners who want their name tied directly to the work itself, with custom engagement and a year-long relationship.
We’ve heard it from local businesses, family foundations, and municipal partners: you want to know your dollars are reaching the older adults in your community — not a regional pot. Every KSSS partner can do exactly that.
Choose any community or sub-region within our 26,000 km² service area — from a specific town to a broader sub-region. We’ll confirm the geographic scope with you.
Your contribution funds the volunteer navigator(s), client support, and operations that serve older adults in that specific community — tracked separately in our books and reported on directly.
At year-end, we send a short report for your community only: clients served, hours of direct service, volunteer activity, and outcomes data — with the option to share it with your team, board, or membership.
Your name and logo appear on KSSS materials, volunteer training, and events for that area — so neighbours and employees see the partnership locally, not just on our national channels.
This is included at every sponsorship level — Supporter, Champion, and Regional Leader alike. If your team has a specific community in mind, mention it on the form below or in your first email and we’ll take it from there.
If an annual sponsorship isn't the right shape, here are three more ways to engage.
We can register KSSS on Benevity, CanadaHelps, and most United Way campaigns. Your employees can give pre-tax through payroll deduction at no cost to them.
From our annual gathering to community-specific events — volunteer training days, navigator recognition events, regional meetings — sponsor-specific recognition included.
Vehicle use for client transportation, printing, professional services, office equipment. We'll work with you on appropriate recognition for any non-cash contribution.
