Donate - Individuals
The proposed school yard plan can only become a reality with the generosity of donors like yourself. Please help the Saint-Francois-d'Assise parents council raise the $95,000 total that is needed to fund the entire project and create a safe and appealing environment for current and future students of Saint-François-d’Assise to play and be active.
Donations by individuals can be made online using your credit card, Paypal or Interac accounts, via our page on www.Canadahelps.org. Through this portal your donations will also receive a tax receipt from the school board, le Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est, which is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency. We want to be transparent in letting donors know that Canadahelps does charge a fee of 3.5% of funds raised. However, by making donating easy and providing the needed administrative support, we feel this is a worthwhile expenditure.
Unfortunately, given the many regulations that shape our project, we are not able to accept in-kind donations.
Donate - Corporate donors
Corporate donors will play a vital role in achieving fundraising targets for the school yard renewal. We are seeking and would welcome donations from both large businesses and smaller local businesses, both of which have clients that include the families and staff of the Saint-Francois-d'Assise elementary school. By donating, these businesses will make a direct impact on the members of this ever-growing school community. They will also help create an embellished green space in the middle of Hintonburg for the broader community to enjoy.
Donations by organizations can be made via cheque made payable to Ecole Saint-Francois-d'Assise, noting 'schoolyard renewal' in the memo line. Cheques should be brought to the main office of the Saint-Francois-d'Assise elementary school or can be sent to the school at 35 Melrose Avenue, Ottawa, ON, K1Y 1T8.
All donations will be greeted with gratitude and thanks. Exceptional donations as identified in the categories below will also attract the following benefits:
