The RONA Foundation raised $580,000 through its Home Sweet Home campaign, which ran from August 31 to October 12, 2026, and benefited nearly 150 organizations across Canada. Customers and teams from 203 participating RONA+ and RONA stores took part.

Why it matters

All funds raised are donated in full to organizations selected by teams at each participating store, supporting victims of domestic violence and their children, low-income families, and people with disabilities or mental health issues. Funds raised in each region are reinvested directly in that region.

The fourth campaign raised $580,000 across 203 participating RONA+ and RONA stores, bringing the total presented since 2023 to almost $2.5 million. The breakdown of funds by individual organization was not detailed in the source.

The players

RONA Foundation

The RONA Foundation is a charity established in 1998 that channels funds raised through the Home Sweet Home campaign to Canadian community organizations.

RONA inc.

RONA inc. is a retailer headquartered in Boucherville, Québec, operating over 425 corporate and affiliated dealer stores under the RONA+ and RONA banners and employing 21,000 people.

The details

Teams at each participating store select the local organization they wish to support, and the campaign runs as a customer-and-team fundraising effort. The RONA Foundation, a charity established in 1998, administers the donations, which are presented to the chosen organizations.

2023: Home Sweet Home campaign launched.
August 31, 2026: Fourth edition of the campaign began.
October 12, 2026: Fourth edition of the campaign ended.
November 2, 2026: Results announced in a press release.

Giving Back

The fourth edition extends the Home Sweet Home campaign that has presented almost $2.5 million to Canadian organizations since its 2023 launch. Its continued growth shows a sustained retail-linked giving model across the country.

Customers who shop at participating RONA+ and RONA stores during the campaign contribute to local charitable organizations selected by store teams. The campaign's regional reinvestment model means funds stay within the communities where they were raised.

The takeaway

Shoppers who want to support local causes can look for in-store fundraising campaigns at retailers in their own community. Giving through participating stores helps direct funds to organizations close to home.
