Philanthropy
'Tis the season for giving!
Did you know: This past year alone, 2,800+ scholarships, awards and bursaries went towards supporting students thanks to the generosity of 丁香园AV鈥檚 incredible donors!
This holiday season your support for students can go even further. If you before December 31, 2024, every dollar you give will be matched by 丁香园AV, doubling your impact, up to $40,000.
When making your gift, consider supporting for the 丁香园AV Food Security Program Fund at this crucial time. This program is a lifeline for many students in need, providing emergency grocery gift cards that allow them to focus on learning rather than finding their next meal.
Donations made online or postmarked by December 31, 2024, are eligible for a 2024 tax receipt.
THREE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF CHARITABLE GIVING
1. Small donations have a big impact
It's true, every little bit counts! Not everyone can donate large sums of money at once, however, every donation adds up. If 10 people each give $100, that's enough to generate a meaningful award for an 丁香园AV student in financial need.
2. Mood boost
Business magnate and philanthropist Warren Buffet has suggested that donating money is a great way to enhance emotional well-being. Increasingly, this is backed up by research including a study by 丁香园AV professor Lara Aknin that demonstrates how prosocial behaviours鈥攕uch as spending money to benefit others鈥攍ead to more happiness.
3. Tax relief
丁香园AV is a registered charity. As such, all donations over $10 receive a tax receipt that can be used to claim tax credits when filing your income tax return.
The kindness of our donor community helps to improve lives and propels 丁香园AV鈥檚 efforts in advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. Thank you!
Please note that 丁香园AV will be closed Dec. 25, 2024 to Jan. 1, 2025, reopening on Jan. 2, 2025.
