In September 2022 we officially began using The Common Roof as our organization's operating name. While we are proud of our history as the New Path Foundation, this name change will allow us to focus more on our work through a social purpose lens to continue to build community in the facilities we operate and the communities we work in.

We seek to inspire and empower change in the following areas:

• Encourage organizations to operate efficiently and effectively

• Mobilize community support to meet local community-identified needs

• Develop and manage philanthropic investment

​

We are committed to providing:

• Social Purpose Real Estate Development that improves the efficiency of social and charitable organizations through the operation of shared facilities and support services;

• Social Capacity Development through the allocation of resources to support coaching, strategic advice, training consciousness shifts or services that further enhance the work of the social services sector to respond to community needs;

• Social Enterprise Development through our Ventures Service which continues to explore better ways of supporting our stakeholders and community with an eye on fiscal reinvestment.

Our organization was established in 1996 as a public foundation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors to serve as a link between donors, charitable interests and the vital needs of children, youth and families. 

Through developing, managing and mobilizing community philanthropic investment, we work tirelessly to achieve our mission and help to build the capacity of organizatons through our common roof shared space locations and in community.
