info@secancersupport.caSupporting a charity doesn’t always mean writing a big check. While financial donations are incredibly valuable, there are many other meaningful ways you can get involved and make a lasting impact—no matter your age, background, or resources.
Whether you’re passionate about helping children with cancer, supporting families in crisis, or lifting up your local community, here are 20 ways you can help a charity and become part of the change.
💸 1. Financial Support
One of the most direct ways to make a difference is by contributing financially—no amount is too small.
1. One-Time Donations: A single gift can have an immediate impact. It could help cover a family’s gas and parking costs or fund a child’s wish experience.
2. Monthly or Annual Giving: Recurring donations provide stability and help charities plan for the future with confidence.
3. Willed Donations / Legacy Giving: Include a charity in your estate plan to leave a powerful legacy that supports future generations.
4. Matching Gifts: Many employers match donations—doubling your impact at no extra cost to you.
5. Fundraising Events: Attend, sponsor, or donate to events like walks, auctions, or charity dinners

🙌 2. Volunteer Your Time
If you can’t give financially, your time is just as valuable.
6. In-Person Volunteering: Help out at events, assist with administrative tasks, volunteer as a driver or coordinator to help get clients to their treatements or participate in community outreach.
7. Virtual Volunteering: Support from home by writing blog posts, managing social media, designing graphics, or providing tech help.
8. Join a Committee or Board: Use your leadership or professional experience to help guide the charity’s mission and growth.
9. Offer Professional Services: Lawyers, accountants, IT specialists, therapists, and other professionals can offer services that many nonprofits can’t afford.
📢 3. Spread the Word
Awareness fuels support. Help others discover the cause you care about.
10. Share on Social Media: A single post or story could bring in a new donor, volunteer, or family in need of help. You can follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see our latest posts.
11. Create a Fundraiser: Use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or GoFundMe to set up your own campaign.
12. Host a Donation Drive: Collect donations from friends and family in support of your favourite cause.
13. Invite a Friend: Encourage others to get involved. Word-of-mouth is powerful.
🛒 4. Give Through Everyday Actions
Support charities through the things you’re already doing.
14. Shop for a Cause: Some retailers donate a portion of your purchase to a nonprofit—just by shopping. At SCSS, we have a number of great gift options available including golf shirts, charcuterie boards, necklaces and more!
15. Workplace Giving: Set up a payroll deduction or organize a giving campaign with your coworkers.
16. Donate Items: Gently used items like laptops, children’s books, or craft supplies are often needed—check the organization’s wishlist.
17. Sponsor a Child or Program: Recurring sponsorship helps fund specific initiatives and lets you see the impact up close.
💡 5. Get Creative
Turn your talents, passions, and milestones into acts of kindness.
18. Celebrate With Purpose: For your birthday, wedding, or holiday, ask for donations in lieu of gifts.
19. Host a Community Event: Bake sales, car washes, trivia nights, or game tournaments can bring people together for a cause.
20. Start a Club or Campus Group: If you’re in school, rally classmates around fundraising and volunteering together.
Charity thrives on community. Whether you give your time, money, or talents, your support has the power to bring hope, healing, and happiness to those who need it most.
