Ways to Give
There are so many ways to support Avalanche Canada and help save lives
Become a monthly donor
Donating monthly is the simplest and most sustainable way to support public avalanche safety. Your recurring gift ensures we have steady, predictable funding to plan long-term initiatives and respond quickly to emerging needs. Plus, it’s easy to set up and can be adjusted anytime. By giving monthly, you’re helping create lasting change every single day.
Become an annual donor
Donating annually is a powerful way to make a significant contribution all at once. It helps us plan ahead and invest in impactful, long-term programs and services. Your annual gift provides stability and allows us to focus on creating meaningful initiatives throughout the year. One moment, one gift, a year of difference.
Buy a Toolbox for the Avalanche Canada School Program
Our toolboxes contain avalanche transceivers, shovels, and probes. They are sent to schools to provide students with hands-on experience with this essential safety equipment. A manual is included to help teachers lead an effective session. Students learn how the tools work, the importance of respecting ski resort boundaries, and how to read an avalanche forecast, becoming more knowledgeable and aware.
Give to a memorial fund
Choose from one of our memorial funds; each created to reflect the passions and values of those we honour. Your contribution ensures their vision lives on, supporting programs and initiatives that make a lasting impact. Select the fund that resonates with you and help us continue their inspiring legacy.
Gift of securities or mutual funds
Donating securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes don't apply, our charity receives the total fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your more significant contribution. This allows you to give more and get more.
Give in memory or honour of someone
Making a gift in memory or honour of someone is a powerful way to pay tribute to their life and values. Your donation supports meaningful programs and initiatives that reflect their passions, creating a lasting legacy. Whether you are remembering a loved one or celebrating someone who inspires you, your gift makes a difference.
Select “I would like to dedicate this gift” and identify the dedication type - in honour of, in memory of, or in celebration of and enter their name.
