Donate

With your support, we can ensure newcomers, including immigrants and refugees, can build their lives in British Columbia. When they thrive, we all thrive.

Why donate?

Your donation will support newcomers, including refugees, as they build their new lives in British Columbia. Government funding does not cover all our programs, so your contribution, whether monthly support or a one-time donation, makes all the difference.

You can also sponsor an education bursary, buy gift cards, or send us a cheque. All donations of $20 or more are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

Ways to donate

If you’d like to support newcomers living in BC, please donate through CanadaHelps. Your donation will empower programs that the government does not fund. You can donate monthly or make a one-time donation through Canada Helps. You can also donate by cheque or cash. For cheque or cash donations, email rebecca.irani@issbc.org
