Plan International Canada is a member of a global organization dedicated to advancing children’s rights and equality for girls. They have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years and are now active in more than 75 countries. You can help this life-affirming work!

PIC and DACC

Plan International Canada has a bit of support in their far reaching work. Make that a lot of support! It comes in the shape of you. You and your creativity. Your resources. Even in the shape of your beloved ’98 Camry.

PIC draws donations through our Donate a Car Canada program. Your recycle or re-sale-ready vehicle will be transformed…into dollars and cents. The money resulting from its donation will keep their programs humming.

What is Plan’s plan?

Child sponsorship. Exchange letters, receiving updates on their progress and explore the opportunity to meet in person. Sponsoring an individual child is about relationship.

Gifts of Hope. Oh my goodness! If you’re looking for beautiful practicality in offering a hand up, this is your giving catalogue! From baby blankets ($17.00) to outfitting a clinic ($5,000.00), your gift is Goodness.

Because I am a Girl. “Equality will not be a reality until the world recognizes the inherent power and potential of youth – especially girls. We are on Team Girl but that does not mean we exclude boys from our work, in fact we actively engage men and boys in our efforts to advance equality. “

Plan International is clear in their mission. Visit their website and social media pages to learn more about how to be a good human in so many ways! Looking for work? You may even find your career home with them.

How your gift breaks out

Charity operating costs are no small thing. But, wow! Can a well-run crew ever stretch a Canadian dollar! We see this daily in our connection with the near 1,000 charities that we currently serve. Your charity of choice wants to help in practical, immediate, tangible ways. It’s heart work. Whether tackling enormous social justice issues, or tending a stray pup, your chosen charity cares deeply.

Egale Canada Human Rights Trust – 2SLGBTQIA+ Equality and Diversity

Sandra — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 21:01:47 +0000

Human rights. Equality. Diversity. Justice. Donate a Car Canada is receiving vehicle donations on behalf of Egale Canada Human Rights Trust as they compassionately serve, and advocate for, Canada’s 2SLGBTQIA+ citizens.
Clarity and understanding are growing around issues of gender and sexual identity. Some Canadian families are reaching out for professional, community, and governmental support. Many of our receiving charities indirectly respond to the growing demand for counselling, family support, crisis care, and quality of life enhancement.
In their article on gender variance, Maclean’s Magazine (Cathy Gulli, January 13, 2014) gently and insightfully invites us to explore the complexities of an unfolding Canadian conversation. The fears and challenges specific to families faced with medical, emotional, and social journey of gender and sexual identity warrant compassion and mindful consideration. Some of our listed charities can help with that! Egale, Kids Help Phone, Bullying Canada, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and Buddies in Bad Times Theatre are just a few.
If you, or someone you know is looking for perspective, support, or upcoming events, explore Egale’s caring Facebook community. And visit Youtube! Be moved and challenged by #Hearourstory clips there. They will invite you to a deeper understanding of our LGBTQ community.

Donating a vehicle for Egale Canada and other affirming charities

Vehicle donation is simple, quick, and free! There are no costs to 2SLGBTQIA+ championing charities themselves, either. Simply fill in an online donation form and wait for a call from your supporting tow agent. They’ll set up your free tow in a timely manner. Then, your donated vehicle will be re-sold or recycled — whichever process will bring the highest donation for your charity of choice. After that it’s just a matter of time until your tax receipt lands in your inbox.

We can’t wait to work alongside you toward a country that ensures human rights and dignity for all!
