Since 2004, Gifts of Hope has reached millions around the world with life-changing gifts that give back. These gifts are made possible by the generosity of people like you!
Gifts of Hope cannot be wrapped like regular gifts you buy at the store, but they do unwrap huge possibilities for those who receive them – from goats, school supplies, clean water access and essential health equipment, to entrepreneurial ventures for women and girls, and vitally-needed supplies in times of emergency.
With Plan International Canada, as part of one of the world’s oldest and largest international development organizations, your donation goes directly to the gift you choose – helping children, families and communities in need, just as described.
You can feel good about giving Gifts of Hope to the person in your life who has everything because your gift will work double duty to both delight, and support today’s most important causes.

Choose from gifts that support education, empowerment, maternal & newborn health, gender equality, and more.
Your friends or family member gets a personalized greeting card describing all the good their goat will do.
Your Gift of Hope goes to children and families who need it, and your impact creates real change for real people.
Our generous matching partners will match your donation several times over, multiplying the value and impact of your gift.
