Ways to Give

Your monthly donation will support our areas of greatest need. Donations are directed to areas where they’ll be the most beneficial for the most children.

People want to make a difference and your brand can help give them the opportunity to do so. There are so many ways to get involved! We will work with you to find the best approach to help your customers, employees and suppliers support our cause. To find out more, contact Angela Smith at [email protected].

Companies often match charitable contributions made by their employees, thus encouraging a philanthropic workplace culture. Or companies can agree to match donations made by the public to a campaign in order to double the impact of the individual donations. Being a matching gift sponsor can encourage supporters to donate more because they know their gift has greater impact. Please contact Angela Smith at [email protected] for more information.

We have a wide range of sponsorship opportunities that include our 3 signature events – Show of Heart Telethon, Variety Week, and Boat for Hope – as well our annual grassroots events. Each event has a variety of sponsorship levels and we will work with you to develop a sponsorship package that meets your needs. For more information about our campaigns and events, click visit our Events page.

Supporting Variety BC means supporting BC children with disabilities and complex health needs.

For 60 years and counting, Variety donors have helped BC kids receive the supports they need to explore their unique potential. Since its inception, Variety has distributed almost $300 million in funding to families, schools, hospitals, organizations and communities across the province.

When you support Variety, you help more kids reach crucial milestones; first words, first moments of independence, first exploration of their world. You bring families hope.

There are two ways that you can leave a charitable gift in your will. You can leave a specific sum of money or leave a residual gift (ie. a portion of your estate in the form of a percentage or share, after debts, taxes and expenses have been paid). Leaving a bequest is simple. Discuss your wishes with your family and then speak to your lawyer about drafting or revising your will.  Email [email protected] for more information.

Adding Variety BC to your estate planning creates a lasting impact beyond your lifetime
Your gift ensures that BC kids continue to receive life-changing support for generations to come. It’s a powerful way to turn your values into a permanent legacy. It helps families access critical funding for equipment, therapies, and care—often when no other options exist. You become part of a safety net that changes lives in deeply tangible ways. It helps us say “yes”.

Including Variety in your will is also a meaningful expression of compassion, community, and belief in every child’s potential; on that can offer significant tax benefits. Finally, your decision can encourage friends, family, and future generations to support BC kids.

We would be honoured to work with you on building your legacy. Reach out to get the conversation started: [email protected].
