Effective September 1, 2024, each recipient receives $160 each month, from September through June, for a total of $1,600.
The Help Our Students Program is a not-for-profit organization, registered as a charity under the Income Tax Act (Canada).
100% of all donations are distributed to students who are selected by their school. Your donations are never used to pay administrative costs which are paid by the volunteer Board of Directors.
Donors receive an annual President’s Report. Each President’s Report contains a financial statement and a link to the recipients’ letters describing how the Help Our Students Program has impacted their lives.
Flash News
The Board of Directors has once again approved giving three awards per school for the 2024-25 school year. In addition, it increased the amount of the award to $160 per month to compensate for the effects of inflation since the last increase in September 2022.
You can help us in our mission by setting up a monthly donation in whatever amount you can afford. 100% of every donation we receive goes directly to help a student.
