OVERVIEW

About Robb Nash Project:

The Robb Nash Project is a 4-star charity. It is financially transparent, has overhead spending within Ci's reasonable range, and has below-average reporting of its results for donors. 

Founded in 2012, Robb Nash Project holds presentations and concerts to help youth struggling with addiction, depression, and suicide. Events inspire students through music and storytelling to make positive life choices. The charity reports that one in five Canadians screened positive for symptoms of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder in 2020.

Robb Nash suffered from significant physical injuries and psychological issues after a life-threatening accident as a teenager. After a difficult recovery, he started Robb Nash Project to help at-risk youth overcome the same problems he faced and conquered.

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, Robb Nash Project could not perform concerts in F2021. Instead, the charity gathered educators, social workers, and counsellors to use its songs and lyrics to develop a curriculum for students. The charity expects that 81 schools in five provinces will participate in the new curriculum in fall 2022, reaching over 6,000 students.

In the 2018-19 school year (the last school year not impacted by covid-19), Robb Nash Project performed 40 times and presented in front of 39,078 students.

Comments provided by Robb Nash Project on April 18, 2023

 

The Robb Nash Project is pleased to share its inaugural Annual Report to our stakeholders and the general public for the 2021/2022 Fiscal Year. They are excited to celebrate the expansion of their offerings to youth with a dedicated school curriculum available in both English and French, nationwide.

2022 Annual Impact Report  

From initial surveys and feedback, educators confirmed that 20% of their participating students raised their hand for help using the online journaling tool. Of those, 60% were unknown to them as needing help before this program.

Concerts are starting to reconvene as we move out of pandemic restrictions and we are thrilled to be sharing them with youth once again, starting Spring 2023!
