There are many ways to get involved outside of corporate donations. Whether it’s an in-kind contribution, volunteering opportunity or starting a cause-marketing initiative, we will work with you to find the best method for your company to give back.
Monthly donations are a critical source of regular and reliable funding. This giving plans allow Variety to make firm commitments to our granting programs and plan ahead to increase our impact for Variety families.
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.
No problem at all.
Reach out to our philanthropy services team with your inquiry/desired changes to get the process started.
Whether you want to change your monthly gift amount or change your contact details, we’re here to help.
Yes … if you choose to make your monthly donation by automatic bank withdrawal, payments will be processed from your account monthly without having to worry about credit card expirations. Simply send us a blank cheque marked VOID and complete the pre-approved debit agreement on our donation form.
While both methods are great ways to support Variety BC, there are fewer administrative costs associated with automatic bank withdrawal.
Please contact Julianna Vittorio at julianna.vittorio@variety.bc.ca for more information.
You can alter or cancel your monthly giving arrangement at any time simply by contacting Julianna Vittorio, Philanthropy Officer, Donor Services at 604-268-3886 or by going online to the Monthly Donation Adjustment form.
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: legacy@variety.bc.ca.
By choosing to leave a gift of assets other than cash, you could save capital gains and estate taxes, and therefore make a bigger impact than you previously thought possible. Examples of other types of gifts you can leave are stocks and securities, life insurance, RRSPs or RRIFs, Annuities and more. For more information email legacy@variety.bc.ca.
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 legacy@variety.bc.ca for more information.
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.
