"Camp Couchiching Can..." be many things to many people but we need your help! Please help us out with fundraising, donations & lobbying!

(Scroll to the bottom of this page, below the "help camp now" button, for lobbying insight)

BACKGROUND

Until Camp fees are enough to cover all our expenses, we are applying for grants and subsidies and we also have fundraising and advocacy opportunities!

If you can, please donate funds for our camp!

Because we are a registered charity we are able to send charitable donation receipts for cash or product donations to reflecting your generosity!

DONATIONS & FUNDRAISING

Here are some ways you can raise money on our behalf or support fundraisers:

1. $8 on the 8th of every month. Our Monthly Giving program helps us raise funds in a reliable manner that comes in a manner that is consistent for the Camp. All $8 on the 8th funding will help in our Campership program. Click on the red "Donate Now" button at the bottom of this page to head to our donation page.
2. Some workplaces offer donation matching programs, we have raised approximately $25,000 this way already! Ask your employer to see if your workplace has this type of offering or check here. In most cases you'll only need to provide a donation receipt to them to be eligible and we can help you with that.
3. Buy Gift Cards through FundScrip (you buy a $10 gift card (or a bunch of them) for $10 + shipping and Camp receives a percent of every sale! We get even more $ when you pay by e-transfer). Use CODE 558KLG  on this website: https://www.fundscrip.com/support-a-group
4.  
5. Buy name labels through Mabel's Labels and we get a percentage of that https://mabelslabels.ca/ (once you're in then click "Support a Fundraiser" then type in Camp Couchiching to support our fundraiser)
6. Donate Mutual Funds &/or Securities- A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes don't apply, our charity receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your larger contribution. This allows you to give more and get more. There are only 3 steps to do this and we can only do this through our Canada Helps link- 

Do you have a great idea for us? Let us know and we'll promote it here!
