National and International Charities

A special collection is being taken to aid two charities.

Indspire is dedicated to raising funds to deliver programs that provide the tools necessary for Indigenous peoples in Canada, especially youth, to achieve their potential. As of 2016, Indspire through its Education Program has awarded more than $87 million in scholarships and bursaries to more than 25,000 First Nations students nationwide including Inuit and Métis post-secondary students across Canada, across a diverse range of disciplines.

Childhaven is partnered with Canadian corporations, federal departments, national organizations, and other private sector companies to implement Industry in the classroom. Indspire offers scholarships and bursaries through four major categories: Post-Secondary Education, Fine Arts, Health Careers, and Oil and Gas Aboriginal Trades and Technology.

Childhaven is inspired by the teachings and ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, and assists children and women in developing countries, who are in need of food, education, health care, shelter and clothing, emotional and moral support. The biggest challenge to Childhaven during Covid-19 is that the spring fund-raising events have had to be cancelled. The loving care the children receive depends completely on contributions from generous supporters. With 9 homes located in India, Tibet, Nepal, and Bangladesh, Childhaven was founded in 1985 by beloved Unitarians Fred and Bonnie Cappuccino, who adopted 19 children. And that was just the beginning.

Donations will be shared equally between Indspire and Childhaven. We hope you will be generous!
