DONOR PROGRAM

The Italian-Canadian Community Foundation welcomes any and all donations. Whether it be monthly, annual or a one-time donation, the success of the Foundation relies on the generosity of not only corporate donors, but regular members of the community at large.

Friends of the Foundation are esteemed members of the community who want to contribute to the Foundation’s goals, but are not of Italian descent. Their role is to expand the Foundation’s network of friends and business professionals and to support the Foundation’s fundraising events.

For more information about how you can donate or how to become a Friend of the Foundation, please contact us.

MEMBER PROGRAM

Members of the Foundation are bestowed the title of Governor. From various professional backgrounds, these individuals of Italian origin recognize that the strength of a wider network can better affect social change. Their drive, optimism and innovative spirit truly make the Foundation what it is today. Governors are members with voting rights.

  • Initial donation: $10,000 (payable in up to 5 installments)

  • Annual donation: $1,000 (recurring until the age of 65 years)

Governors are committed to supporting the Foundation through their annual contribution and regular participation in fundraising events.

SPONSORSHIP

Although we do have a strong long-term membership program, fundraisers are the main source of annual revenue for the Foundation. There are several opportunities to sponsor our annual fundraisers. Some of our fundraisers include:

Sponsorship packages vary according to the event. Not only do sponsors receive charity receipts for tax purposes, visibility at our events is provided for corporate contributions. For more information on how you and/or your company can become a sponsor or a corporate donor, please contact us.
