Gifts of Hope
Give a Gift of Hope
Gifts of Hope are a simple, affordable way to tackle complex global challenges and injustices. Each gift supports real projects in the communities where we work, providing tangible goods and vital services—like school supplies, health care, and more—that protect children and promote girls’ rights.
Child Sponsorship
Become a child sponsor
Millions of children worldwide are denied their basic human rights—but you can help change that. Join more than 100,000 Canadian sponsors to provide education, health care, safety, and more through a program that has empowered children and communities for over 80 years, starting with sponsorship during the Spanish Civil War. Our sustainable, community- driven approach helps children and families break the cycle of poverty for lasting impact.
Donate to support girls' rights
The Greatest Need
The loss of human rights for women and girls affects us all. When a girl’s rights are cancelled, the consequences reach far beyond her community and borders, impacting our country in ways that can be hard to see but are impossible to ignore. Defending equality for girls isn’t just about fairness. It’s about securing a future where communities thrive, economies grow, and stability is the foundation everyone can count on.
Because I Am a Girl
Around the world, it’s becoming more dangerous to be a girl. Rights once protected are now slipping away. Funding for girls’ programs is shrinking. Conflict, climate disasters, and instability are rising—and girls are often the first to feel the impact. Help end gender inequality by supporting Plan International’s global program to champion equality for girls.
Emergencies & crisis response
Children in Crisis Response Fund
Nearly 1 billion children — almost half the children in our world — live in crisis, facing dangers like food shortages in Ethiopia or conflict in Sudan. Children, especially girls, are the most at risk in an emergency, and the most overlooked. Every minute can mean the difference between life and death, so we must act even faster. We are determined to act as quickly as possible to help save lives after a disaster strikes.
Emergency appeals
Help Plan International Canada mobilize vital resources in the most critical moments following a disaster. We work with communities to ensure that your support reaches the people and places that need it most, addressing both the urgent and the longer-term needs of children and families in crisis.
Legacy giving
Legacy giving can change children’s lives for generations. By leaving a gift to Plan International Canada in your will, you help create lasting opportunities for children and communities worldwide. Whether through a gift in your will or through, life insurance, securities, or your RRSPs, RRIFs, or TFSAs, every contribution, large or small, makes a lasting difference.
Individual, family & foundation giving
Plan International Canada works with individuals, families, and foundations across the country to advance children’s rights and gender equality. Through these partnerships, supporters help address systemic challenges, create lasting change, and empower children and communities around the world.
