Ways to Give

Your generosity offers hope to a family in their darkest time. The needs are urgent, immediate and ongoing.  

Receiving a diagnosis of childhood cancer is devastating – emotionally and financially. Support from our community immediately improves a Childcan family’s ability to remain emotionally and financially stable in the face of childhood cancer.

When you give, you support Childcan’s direct-to-family donation philosophy ensuring immediate help in the hands of families who need it most. Your gift enables families to regain control in a time of utter chaos, and shows them they are not alone – support that is very much needed to face childhood cancer. 

Your generosity truly makes a difference.

There are many ways you can donate to have a meaningful impact on the lives of Childcan families.

Online

The easiest and most efficient way you can give is online. Your gift is received immediately and will be put right to work to help families living with their child’s cancer. Your tax receipt is also automatically sent to you.

Monthly Gifts

You can become a Childcan Champion with a monthly donation. Your small, consistent gift can add up to a big impact, providing a steady source of income and ensuring we can provide unwavering support to our Childcan families. It’s easy and affordable with smaller, more frequent gifts coming right off your credit card every month. You’ll receive one tax receipt at the end of the year for your total monthly contributions, and, of course, you can change or stop your donation at any time. It’s easy to set up a monthly donation online.

Donate Securities

Donations of securities are a great way to maximize your giving and obtain significant tax benefits. Shares, securities or mutual funds can be donated to Childcan online through Canada Helps, or through London Community Foundation by using their share transfer form. Please contact us with any questions regarding the procedures involved in processing a gift of appreciated securities.

Legacy Giving

A planned gift becomes part of your life story. Childcan can offer a special opportunity for you to create a legacy. Please contact us and we’d be happy to discuss your wishes and how you can continue to have an impact.

Donate a Car

Donate a Car Canada accepts Vehicle Donations for Childcan. Free towing is provided in most areas across Canada, or you can drop off your vehicle to maximize your donation. When you donate your car, truck, RV, boat, or motorcycle to Childcan through Donate a Car Canada, it will either be recycled or sold at auction (depending on its condition, age and location). Donate a Car Canada will look after all the details to make it easy for Childcan to benefit. After your vehicle donation is complete, we will send you a tax receipt and your donation will be put to good use, supporting our children and families.

Merchandise

Support us by purchasing merchandise such as bracelets, hats, hoodies, and t-shirts that will also raise awareness. We are grateful to Collins Clothiers for hosting our merchandise store.

On behalf of our staff and board, and most importantly, our Childcan families, thank you! 

We rely on the generosity of our community through individual, corporate and foundation donations and sponsorships. We appreciate every dollar donated and put it to good use in providing our direct-to-family programs and services. 

Your support truly does make a difference.

Tax Receipts

Please note that because of the administrative and mailing costs associated with issuing paper receipts for offline donations, we issue printed tax receipts for every offline donation of $20 or more. Online donations provide the option for the donor to cover the administrative costs and ensure that the total amount of the donation is going to support children and families coping with childhood cancer, as the donor intended. As there is less administration involved, receipts are issued for each donation made through the online donation links above. Should you have any concerns or questions regarding this policy, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We very much appreciate your generosity and support, and strive to meet the needs of our donors, as well as the children and families we serve. Thank you!
