Gifts In Kind
Donate services, goods or property to Variety – the Children’s Charity and help us help kids in BC.
Donating Gifts in Kind to Variety
Every contribution makes an impact to families across BC. This includes non-cash donations that can include goods, property and even vehicles.
The most common gifts in kind we receive are financial securities such as stocks or mutual funds or property. These donations enable the donor to avoid paying capital gains tax on an asset.
We have partnered with “Donate a Car” to provide supporters with a platform to donate vehicles. Find out more here.
If you have an asset that you are considering donating, we can help!
Contribute to our Events
Our team is always looking for items and services to enhance our fundraising events. Our supporters love to bid on travel experiences, spa days, wine packages, gift baskets, and more. By donating items like these, you are introducing your product to our donors and helping unlimit kids across BC.
We would love to hear more about what products or services you can contribute to our fundraising efforts!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I support Variety BC?
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.
What other types of gifts can I leave to Variety?
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 [email protected].
What are the benefits of signing up as a monthly donor?
Any contribution goes a long way, but monthly donations provide a predicable donation stream that Variety can plan around each month. It allows us to make firm commitments to our granting programs and our Variety families.
Finally, it also helps streamline our administrative processes which means more donor dollars go directly to helping families.
