Give Once.
Keep Giving For Years to Come.
Penny Appeal Canada has partnered with Evergive to turn your generosity into lasting impact long after your donation is made.
What This Partnership Means for You
When you donate to Penny Appeal Canada, you’re already helping deliver vital humanitarian relief through our programs to families most in need.
Now with our partnership with Evergive, your generosity can go even further and keep working long after you hit “donate.”
Here’s the idea: instead of your donation being used once towards a project, a small additional donation amount of your choosing is added to your gift and placed into a trusted, professionally managed fund. That fund grows over time with earnings paid out to Penny Appeal Canada as ongoing grants, year after year.
And it’s that simple. One gift. Lasting support.
Remember, this is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. You have no obligation to participate in this partnership. However, if you do choose to add an additional amount, you will be helping to elevate our humanitarian efforts around the world by expanding our reach to more people in need.
How it Works?
Add a little extra at checkout
At checkout, top up your gift.
When you make your donation, you’ll have the option to top up your gift through Evergive. It’s completely optional, and only takes a few extra seconds. Your original donation still goes directly to the cause you chose. The additional amount is simply invested to keep generating support for our mission well into the future.
Your extra gift is invested
Placed into a secure, managed trust.
That additional amount is placed into a secure, independently managed charitable trust designed specifically to fund charities like ours over the long term.
We receive grants for years
One gift, support for decades.
As the fund grows, it distributes grants back to us, turning a single donation into a source of funding that can support our work for years, even decades, into the future.
Your Impact Multiplied
The reality is that the scale of need around the world is increasing. Natural disasters don’t stop. Families around the world are facing hunger, unsafe water, displacement, or a lack of medical care. These issues need consistent, reliable support to help sustain humanitarian efforts that one-time responses just can’t keep up with.
By choosing to give a little extra through Evergive, you are contributing source of funding that helps:
Help us provide immediate relief and aid to families affected by war, famine, and natural disasters
Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (MNCH) – care for mothers and children who don’t have access to maternal and child healthcare
Delivering nutritious food for those facing food insecurity
Long-term support for children who have lost one or both parents
Providing safe access to clean water to communities experiencing water scarcity
