Support Volunteers, Strengthen Communities

We all benefit when Canadians are involved in their communities.

For 50 years, Volunteer Canada has worked to strengthen volunteerism across the country by advancing research, building capacity, supporting volunteer centers and organizations, and creating opportunities for people to contribute to the causes they care about.

Your gift helps build stronger volunteer infrastructure for communities across Canada, ensuring organizations have the tools, knowledge, and support they need to engage volunteers effectively and create lasting social impact.

Whether you choose a one-time gift, monthly contribution, or a planned gift, your generosity helps create the conditions for volunteerism to thrive across Canada.

  4. Enter the amount of your gift and how you’d like it used.
  5. Add your name and contact details to the donation information so we can keep you updated on the difference your gift makes.
  6. Submit your donation.
