Our goal at Plan International Canada is to build trust and a long-term presence in the communities where we work by partnering with children, families and local organizations and governments. With financial support and donations from a broad range of individuals, corporations and institutions, we delivered sustainable solutions to more than 9.3 million people (6.2 million children) last year.
Sponsorship contributions go toward community development projects that support children and their communities. This builds trusting relationships that lead to sustainable change. (Read about the Plan Effect on page 14.)
Designated contributions such as major financial donations, Gifts of Hope and ongoing contributions go to specific projects identified by our supporters. In all cases, donated funds support projects developed in partnership with community members – including children, especially girls – that address inequality and create a more just world.
We keep a close eye on the efficiency of our operations to ensure that the maximum proportion of donations goes directly to the program participants.
