Take Your Online Donation to the Next Level!

This year, The Link: Youth and Family Supports is introducing a new monthly donation campaign and invite you to participate. It’s called Make It Monthly which encourages caring and generous Manitobans like you to consider supporting youth and families with an ongoing gift.

Monthly donations are a great way to make a big impact, help us achieve our goals for the year, and plan ahead knowing we can count on caring folks like you to ensure these programs remain stable and available for children in the months, and years, ahead. For a limited time, we can help increase the impact of your gift.

Throughout March, create a new monthly gift of $20 or more in support of our organization through CanadaHelps, and CanadaHelps will make a one-time extra $20 donation to our charity!

No one has ever become poor by giving.

– Ann Frank

Four Benefits of Monthly Giving

  1. 1. Has a Greater Impact – Your support continues all  year long and makes a lasting, ongoing difference in the lives of needy children and families right here in Manitoba
  2. 2. It’s Quick and Simple – Monthly giving is one of the most efficient ways to donate. You don’t have to worry about remembering to give every year, and it’s easy to set a monthly gift in minutes.
  3. 3. Better for the Charity – Monthly funding allows charities to plan further ahead without worry, and means people accessing these programs can count on them to be there for the long haul.
  4. 4. You Have More Control – A monthly gift is easier on your budget and spreads out your donation throughout the year. You can also create, modify, or even cancel a gift online anytime.

Please consider creating a new monthly gift of $20 or more through CanadaHelps to support our charity. Your donation will help us achieve our goals and make a big impact.

If $20 sounds too steep, we completely understand. Even a smaller monthly contribution of $2, $5 or $10 makes an amazing difference for families who are struggling. We also appreciate one-time gifts or in-kind contributions. Learn More.

Thanks for reading and for your support.
