Help Survivors of Violence Against Women By Donating To NYWC

Ways To Give

All services at North York Women's Centre support survivors of violence against women so they can navigate the complex and personal path to healing, and prevent further abuse. Our educational and supportive programming helps women build skills, knowledge, resilience and self-confidence. Read What Women Say About NYWC.

Please support our 2024 campaign to raise $20,000 for our Drop-In Women's Lounge so we can offer afternoon and evening programming. This service offers women and gender-diverse people a safe space to connect and learn alongside other survivors at weekly social activities, educational discussions and practical workshops where women gather to heal, gain tools, cope with and stop further violence.

Violence against women takes the life of one woman or girl every 48 hours in Canada. Survivors have higher incidence of mental health disorders, physical health problems and economic challenges. Dealing with the aftermath of spousal violence against women cost Canadians an estimated $7.4 billion in 2009 alone. According to the UN, organizations like NYWC help reduce gender-based violence.

North York Women’s Centre is proud to be community supported, meaning that our donations come directly from generous community members like YOU! Monthly donations are especially helpful because they allow NYWC to plan ahead to meet the needs of women in our community.

You can donate using the secure form on this page. We use CanadaHelps to facilitate online donations. Once your donation is made, you will automatically receive a receipt to your email address from CanadaHelps.

You can also donate through the PayPal Giving Fund. If you prefer to donate directly, you may send a cheque to North York Women’s Centre, 116 Industry Street, Toronto, Ontario M6M 4L8. For direct donations, we will issue tax receipts at the end of the calendar year for gifts of $25 or more.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING WOMEN.

Other Donation Options

Tribute Gift

Donations make meaningful gifts for special occasions such as birthdays, Mother’s Day or just to let someone know they are special to you. If you donate via the CanadaHelps form above, you can send a card with your message to the person you dedicated your gift to.

In Memory Gift

Make a donation in memory of a loved one. If you donate via the CanadaHelps form above, you can send a card acknowledging your thoughtful gift to the bereaved family or friend.

Workplace Giving

You can designate all or part of your United Way payroll donations to NYWC by entering our information in the appropriate area of the pledge form (usually on the back). Enter North York Women’s Resource Centre (our legal name) and our charitable registration number 14026 3013 RR001. Check with your employer about other ways of donating through payroll deductions.

Check to see if your employer matches donations made by employees and encourage them to match your gift.

Let us know if you are donating through your employer. Often employers remove donors’ names for privacy reasons, so we won’t know who has made the gift unless you tell us.

Donate a Vehicle

If you have a car, truck or van you don’t want anymore, consider donating it to NYWC. We use CharityCar to facilitate donations of used vehicles. CharityCar will pick up your used car for free, dispose of it in an environmentally-safe way, and give the proceeds to NYWC. They will even help you with the forms required. NYWC will then provide you with a charitable tax receipt. To donate a vehicle, visit Charitycar.ca.

You can also donate a car through Donate a Car Canada.

Planned Giving

Consider making a gift through your will or designate NYWC as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement funds. Remember to talk to your loved ones about your plans and why it is important to you.
