Right now, it is estimated that more than 63,000 Canadian children could be eligible for a life-changing Sunshine Dream opportunity. Your support can make sure our dreamers know that their dreams matter and the life-changing impact of a dream can happen soon. Here are the many ways you can help:
Make an impact month after month
Make a lasting impact by giving monthly. A gift of $10, $20, $30 or whatever you can afford, allows us to plan ahead and helps ensure that every Sunshine kid experiences a life-changing dream. Find this option on our donation form.
By choosing this option, The Sunshine Foundation of Canada will automatically withdraw your donation from your bank account or credit card on the 15th of the month. You may revoke your authorization at any time, subject to providing 10 days’ notice.
Give in Honour or Memory
Join the special group of Sunshine supporters who mark their significant occasion with a donation in lieu of gifts. Celebrations may include birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and retirement. When a gift is made in memory, Sunshine will notify the next of kin. Our giving form allows you to indicate the next of kin as well as the loved one. Find this option on our donation form.
Build a Dream Legacy
Legacy giving ensures that many children will live their dreams for years into the future, allowing you to do lasting good in your community while optimizing tax and other financial benefits. Professional advice from your lawyer, accountant or financial advisor will help determine the best option for you. Here are some examples:
Bequest in a Will: A gift of cash or property in your Will helps you make the gift of a lifetime to a cause you believe in – a gift to Sunshine that can be larger than your giving budget today. See PDF below for sample wording.
Life Insurance: You can make a large gift in the future by paying small life insurance premiums now. Naming Sunshine as the owner or beneficiary of a life insurance policy (new or existing) will also entitle you to tax advantages.
Give more with Securities: Reduce the capital gains tax, get a larger tax receipt at full market value, and easily make a bigger impact by donating securities (stocks, bonds, GICs) directly to Sunshine.
