Other Ways To Help
Planned Giving
Planned Giving is part of overall financial and estate planning; it can help establish your legacy and continue your commitment to eradicating poverty.
​
By making a planned gift through your estate or assets such as securities or RRSPs, you can establish a legacy while making a lasting impact on the lives of families in Africa.
​
​Your gift will allow CPAR to plan for future programming, ensuring that the organization’s 30 plus years of programming continues to help families today and for generations to come. Arranging a legacy gift is easy to do and you can receive a tax credit that will ease the tax burden on your heirs.
Gift Of Change
When CPAR was considering our annual Gifts of Change holiday appeal, we thought about what mattered most to all of us and the decision was an easy one. As a physician-founded organization we are dedicated to improving the health outcomes of the people we serve. That means reducing the risk of mother and infant mortality. It means access to nutritious food and the knowledge to produce it. It means protecting women and girls from customs which limit their potential and sometimes endanger their lives. And finally, it means access to life's foundational need - clean and fresh water.
​
And we realized that none of these goals are 'things'. They are knowledge, empowerment, support and education. And, like health, they too are priceless.
​
Community Fundraising
Community fundraising is a fun way to raise awareness and money for a project you care about. There are many ways you can fundraise and make a meaningful impact. You can organize a charity run/walk, a special dinner, have a bake sale or organize a car wash. The possibilities are endless!
Small Acts,
Big Impact
"It gives one hope, this great strength of Africa."
-Stephen Lewis, former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations
For over 35 years, Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief have worked with the African people in Ethiopia, Malawi and Tanzania, and our hope has never faded.
We have witnessed transformations – large and small – that have brought safe, clean water to communities where the source of life was also a source of disease.
We have seen women take on leadership roles in their villages, marshalling the knowledge and the know how to bring economic stability and healthy livelihoods to their communities.
We have seen African medical professionals work creatively and responsibly to overcome obstacles to deliver life-saving care.
And we have taken note of something else Mr. Lewis has remarked upon:
"It is always the village women who drive these things."
In the world of international NGOs, CPAR would be considered a small charity. But we embrace the flexibility and speed that comes from a lean and responsive organization which seeks solutions and is willing to invest in the communities that will safeguard them.
We recognize too that most of our donors are giving personally meaningful gifts - regardless of size - and the power of small gifts and big ideas to make lasting change are how we will make big impact together.
