As a registered charity we are able to give taxable receipts. To give a one-time donation click on the Donate Now button above. This process through Canada Helps will allow you to choose the type of donation you want to give.
When you select the area you want the funding to go to we ensure that your donation goes towards the program, service, or capital cost.
Not sure what area you want to donate to? Or, you don't care where the funding is allotted. You can still donate by selecting "2. Please use where it is most needed". That way we can dedicate those funds to the programs, services, or capital costs that most need to be addressed.
