Ways to Give
Children growing up in child welfare and youth transitioning out of foster care face such tough challenges. Let’s keep their dreams alive!
Many children, youth and families in your community are struggling and need YOUR SUPPORT.
When you donate to the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa you’re helping give support to your community’s most vulnerable residents living in child welfare and foster care.
There are many ways you can help. You can give a set amount on a monthly basis, provide a one-time gift, or make a donation in someone’s name.
Please choose the one that is best suited to you. The gift you provide will inspire and empower children, youth and their families.
Sponsor an Event
Our three annual events attract different audiences and offer unique opportunities to showcase your business, corporation, or personal values.
Whether you’re a tech company, law firm, financial institution, or personal donor, we have a sponsorship opportunity that will fit your mission and help kids and families involved with CAS Ottawa.
Leave Your Legacy
Including a charitable gift in your estate can provide valuable tax benefits, but its greatest impact is far more personal.
Your legacy will live on through the difference you make in the lives of kids and families in our community, offering comfort in knowing your generosity will continue to change lives for years to come.
Fundraise for Kids
If you love hosting dinner parties, backyard BBQs, company events, or birthday parties, consider turning them into a fundraising adventure for CAFO.
It’s quite simple – we provide you with all the promotional material and tax receipts. We are forever grateful to members of our community who are dedicated to the kids and families involved in child welfare.
Monthly Donation
For just $10 a month, you can give a child the opportunity to play soccer, a clean place to sleep, or a chance at a higher education.
Your commitment to making a monthly gift shows your unwavering dedication to the kids and families involved with the CAS Ottawa.
One-Time Donation
By making a one-time donation, you have the flexibility to offer a gift that is unique to your circumstances at the time of giving.
Regardless of the monetary value, any gift you donate helps enrich the lives of kids and families involved with child welfare.
In Memory Donation
The passing of a loved one is a difficult time for many.
By honouring the legacy of your loved one, you are providing opportunities for kids and families involved with the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa in their name.
Donate Securities
Giving the gift of appreciated stocks or mutual funds can be a beautiful way to help children, youth, and families while being mindful of your finances.
By donating these assets directly, you can maximize your impact and reduce taxes you would otherwise pay. It’s a meaningful choice that turns your investments into brighter futures for those who need it most.
Currency for Kids
Bring your foreign currency to one of our convenient partner locations and help kids in child welfare take back their childhood.
Donate any form of foreign currency and even Canadian Tire money to help fund important programs for children, youth, and families supported by the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa.
Donate Your Car
When you donate your car, truck, RV, boat, or motorcycle to the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa through Donate A Car Canada, it will either be recycled or sold at auction (depending on its condition, age and location).
Free towing is provided in most areas across Canada, or you can drop off your vehicle to maximize your donation.
