At Katimavik, we believe that each person can make a difference.

Over the course of its history, Katimavik has enabled almost 35,000 youth to contribute their time and effort to the well-being of over 2,000 communities from coast-to-coast-to-coast.

Whether it is cleaning municipal parks, working at a food bank, planning educational tools to prevent school drop-out or simply spending time with the elderly at a retirement home, Katimavik youth is helping those in need and impacting social problems affecting all Canadians.

What can you do?

There are many ways for you to help Katimavik reach even more communities and engage even more youth.

1. Make a personal donation

We are offering you a remarkable opportunity to invest in Canada’s youth and communities. Your contribution will increase Katimavik’s capacity and effectiveness.

You will receive an official tax receipt for donations of $20 and more.

2. Make monthly donations

With your recurring donation, you make it possible for Katimavik to develop long-term plans to broaden the scope of its programming.

• Determine the amount of your monthly contribution.
• Katimavik will automatically charge it to your credit card or debit your account on either the 1st or 15th of each month.
• You can change or cancel this amount at any time.
• At the start of each year, you will receive a tax receipt for the total amount contributed in the previous year.

3. Workplace giving

Some workplaces give their employees the opportunity to make regular donations to eligible charities through a payroll system. We encourage you to reach out to your employer and present the value of Katimavik and its programs.

If you have donated to Katimavik in the past or if you plan on making a donation, check with your human resources, personnel or benefits department to determine if your company has a matching gift program.

Another way to increase support for Katimavik is to encourage your company/employer to become a corporate sponsor.
