FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS

EVERY DONATION HELPS

One in five youth in Sault Ste. Marie and the Algoma District struggle with their mental health. Early identification, intervention and prevention programs and services can change lives. Help is available and treatment does work.

TYPES OF DONATIONS

Your donation will help to resource mental health programs for children, youth and families in Algoma that would otherwise not be available through provincial funding. How can you help? We have many options listed below for those who would like to donate.

Become a Monthly Donor

Becoming a monthly donor is a powerful way to provide consistent, reliable support for children and families in need. Your ongoing contributions ensure that vital services are always available. Knowing that we have dependable funding allows our charity to plan for the future, expand programs, and respond quickly to emerging needs. By giving each month, you become a steady source of hope and healing, making a difference in young lives all year round.

Memorial Donations

When words can’t say enough… A memorial donation is a special way to recognize the life of a loved one, friend or colleague. When you make a donation in lieu of a gift, a uniquely designed card will be sent on your behalf indicating that you have honoured the life of a loved one by making a donation to the Foundation.

Tribute Donations

Pay tribute or honour an individual on a special occasion. Celebrate a birthday, holiday, graduation, anniversary or a special friend or relative with a tribute donation to Algoma Family Services Foundation. Your donation will lend additional meaning to the occasion and the person you are honouring will appreciate your thoughtfulness. When you make a tribute donation in lieu of a gift a card will be sent on your behalf.

Leave a Legacy

A gift in a will is a meaningful way to make a lasting commitment to Algoma’s children and youth. A bequest to the Foundation can be as simple as a sentence or two in your will, or a codicil attached to your present will.  You may bequeath to the Foundation a specific sum of money, a particular asset or a portion of your estate.

A gift of life insurance can provide a significant future gift to the Foundation.

Fundraise in Leiu of Gifts

Hosting a birthday party, planning your wedding, or putting together a special event? Ask your guests to make a donation to AFS through our online donation portal, or collect cash and cheque payments in lieu of gifts to help support programs at Algoma Family Services. Cash and cheques can be dropped off at our office location.
