ABOUT CAMH FOUNDATION

Hi! I’m Lauren Daab, Director of Principal Gifts. Over the past eight years, I’ve been dedicated to raising funds for brain sciences. I’m excited to collaborate with a team of professionals who share my passion for working with donors to improve the lives of those affected by mental health conditions and addiction.

I believe the key to an excellent 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.

I invite you to join me for a conversation about your interest in CAMH, have the chance to meet members of our incredible team and tell me more about how your career aspirations align with our bold journey to create a world where mental health is health.

With a dedicated staff of more than 3,000 physicians, clinicians, researchers, educators and support staff, CAMH offers outstanding clinical care to more than 34,000 patients each year. The organization conducts ground-breaking research, provides expert training to health care 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.
