There are many ways to show your support for children from this Region; cash, cheque, and credit card or a gift of stocks or bonds to name a few. The Family & Children's Services Foundation welcomes gifts of any size. Gifts can take the form of one time gifts of cash or ongoing pledges, stocks and negotiable securities, collections or collectibles (i.e. art, china jewellery) based upon appraised value, real estate, and life insurance. Contact a Foundation member today to discuss the possibilities, or visit our secure online donation site

If making a gift by cheque, please make payable to FCS Foundation and mail to the address below. Click here for the printable donation form

'Circle of Hope' Monthly Gift Club:  Join the "Circle of Hope" monthly giving club and help support vulnerable children and youth throughout the year by making monthly gifts. Click here to print a gift reply form or visit our secure online donation site

In Memory:  When a loved one passes away it is important for those left behind, that the loved one's memory is not forgotten or diminished, but rather honoured and celebrated. One of the ways in which family members can honour their loved ones is through a donation to Family & Children's Services Foundation's Children's Fund; helping children and youth in need. Click here to print the gift reply form or visit our secure online donation site.

Third Party Events: There are many ways to show your support of the Foundation - but organizing an event on our behalf is guaranteed to be the most entertaining! Hosting a special event is a great way to unite a group to raise money to support life-enriching experiences such as summer camp or scholarships for vulnerable children and youth in this community. Contact the Foundation to receive your complimentary Special Event Toolkit today!

A Gift of Life Insurance:
A life insurance policy can be assigned in whole or in part to the Family & Children's Services Foundation. The donor of the policy will continue to make premium payments unless the premium is paid in full. There are also tax benefits to the donor while alive, if he or she decides to make a gift of life insurance naming the Family & Children's Services Foundation as beneficiary.

Leave a Gift in Your Will:
  You may wish to include the Family & Children's Services Foundation as a beneficiary when you draw up your will, or you may amend your existing will to include a provision for the Family & Children's Services Foundation. Your lawyer is the best person to help you draft or change your will to ensure that your wishes are clearly stated. Your gift of love will make a world of difference in the lives of disadvantaged children within our community.

Become a Foundation Volunteer:
The gift of time is a special gift for the children and families who rely on us. You can join the FCS Foundation team and make a brighter future for the vulnerable members of this community. Contact the Foundation today.

Join the Foundation's new Ambassador's Team:
The Ambassador Team provides volunteer leadership for the Family & Children's Services Foundation and the Tree of Hope campaign. Working in co-ordination with the Foundation Board members, volunteers, and staff, the Ambassadors Team seek to extend the ability of the Foundation to reach out to the community to invite continued support.
