What you can do to help.

You enable us to fulfill our mission to serve people living with cancer at no cost to them. There are so many ways to get involved with Wellspring Alberta. Choose from the options below to start making a difference in people’s lives today.

We do not receive core government or agency funding and rely on the generosity of the community and people like you to ensure no one has to face cancer alone.

All of the resources, programs and services at Wellspring are provided at no charge to those living with cancer including the loved ones and caregivers of the person diagnosed.

Now more than ever, every gift makes a difference. We know you have many choices of where to invest your charitable dollars. We hope you take pride in knowing your generosity will reopen doors and improve the lives of all those we are privileged to serve. Thank you for considering Wellspring.

Let’s have a conversation about the positive impact you wish to make through your charitable donation.

“I did feel better at Wellspring - I felt a lot better. Being with others made me feel like I'm not alone in this fight."

Donor Advised Funds

Donor advised funds (DAF) allow individuals or organizations to create a special account to manage their charitable donations. Philanthropists like you open an account and make tax-deductible contributions to a DAF. You then recommend grants from the DAF to the charities of your choice. The DAF sponsor, generally a nonprofit financial institution, handles all the administrative details, and you can remain completely anonymous if you wish. Your DAF then issues a tax receipt with your deposit.

Contact Wellspring Alberta at donations@wellspringalberta.ca for wire transfer instructions.

Employee Giving

Participate in your employee/retiree workplace giving program. Some employers offer year round giving or specific fundraising timeframes.

Employer Matching Program

Employer matching gifts can double or even triple the impact of your donation to Wellspring Alberta. Ask your company whether they have an employee/retiree donation matching program.

Weddings, Birthdays or Gifts in Lieu

Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, bar and bat mitvahs, reunions, festivals, parties, and many special events may call for a charitable gift registry of sorts. There are several ways to support the Wellspring Alberta on your special occasion.

Vehicle Donation

You can turn your vehicle donation into generous dollars to support Wellspring Alberta. Donate a Car Canada will accept your vehicle for donation – running or not.

There is no cost to you, and the process is incredibly easy. Donate a Car Canada will facilitate all aspects of your car donation from the pick up to the final sale, ensuring that your vehicle will be sold for the highest sale outcome possible. They will then forward the net proceeds on to us here at Wellspring Alberta and issue a tax receipt through Canada Helps.
