Donate Funds
SALTS is currently seeking donations to our operating fund to help us cover the cost of:1. Annual bursaries for 100 young people with financial difficulties, youth from abusive homes or considered "at risk", childhood cancer patients/survivors, recent immigrants, and young people with cognitive disabilities. $40K annually
2. Annual ship maintenance: $170K is needed annually
3. General operations: For use where we need it most
4. New ship construction--major gifts
We are also interested in speaking with foundations, corporations, or private donors who have the ability to make a contribution of $50K or more to our capital campaign to build a new tall ship in Victoria. We will seek smaller donations to this special project at a later date in the campaign. To discuss major gifts of this magnitude, please contact Loren Hagerty at 888.383.6811 or director[at]salts[dot]ca.
Our goal is to enable young people from all walks of life to participate in our programs. They grow in confidence and self esteem by pushing beyond the barriers they thought existed! Please help us prepare to reach young people who need an inspirational and healing experience in a loving environment. We invite you to make a donation. We cannot do this without your help! There are many ways to give:
1. ONLINE DONATIONS BY INTERAC OR CREDIT CARD (ONE TIME OR MONTHLY)
2. DONATE BY CANADA POST MAIL (Printable PDF Form or just mail a cheque)
3. MONTHLY AUTOMATED BANK WITHDRAWALS (Please CONTACT US to set this up)
4. ESTATE GIFTS, ENDOWMENTS, SHARES, OR GIFTS-IN-KIND (Please CONTACT US to discuss these options)
| I felt I grew in many ways. I now realize what the real beauties in the world are, not just the superficial stuff I grow up with. I realize that I don't need so much materialized stuff to be happy; happiness comes within the people you're with and what you’re experiencing. I try not to judge people immediately, and am more open to trying new things. I also feel more open to showing people who I really am and not wearing a mask to hide. |
