Ways to Give

Thanks to a very generous community, we are able to supplement government funding to help provide care to women & children. This vital work would not be possible without the generous support of individuals, foundations and our other donors like yourself.

For every $1 we raise, a minimum of 80 cents is directed to fund housing and supportive programming. We're constantly stretching our dollars to get the maximum benefit to the people who need it most. That's why your support is so important.

Adsum for Women & Children honours the Ethical Fundraising & Financial Accountability Code developed by the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy, and the Donor Bill of Rights established by the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

There are many ways you can help Adsum directly support 600+ youth, women & children each year. Donations provide us with resources to meet our immediate needs, and caring for people who are in the most dire circumstances. Monthly and legacy giving commitments provide us with the stable core funding we need to manage our operations and deliver the most effective programming - both today and in the future.Please take a few moments to explore this section and find out about how you can become an Adsum supporter.
