The Impact of Your Gift

Your gift, no matter the size, will help our students pursue their passions. We ask that you give in a way that is meaningful to you. Here are some examples of how your donation will make a difference this year:

How Will Your Donation Be Used?

As an unrestricted annual fund, your donation will be directed to priority areas that have an immediate and lasting impact on every student. Funding priorities are identified by faculty and vetted by the Senior Leadership Team and focus on areas that enhance student learning through transformative experiential experiences. Gifts over $5,000 can be directed to an area of need identified in partnership with Theresa Blancaflor, Director of Advancement.

Here are some of the learning resources and opportunities our students will experience across strands and campuses because of your support – your donation impacts every student:

Class field trips
STEM/ADST consumables
Robotics
Music and art specialists
Guest speakers
Leadership opportunities
Land-based learning
Drama and musical productions
PHE specialists
Enhanced classroom technology
Authentic service experiences
In-class workshops
Community partnerships
Unbounded programming

Why is your support of the Tartan Fund integral to our students’ success?

Every gift to our Tartan Fund fuels student learning and growth. Like all non-profit independent schools, tuition and government grants only covers the cost of staff and operations. We rely on your generosity to our Tartan Fund, to provide the diverse array of enhanced educational resources that bring to life Collingwood’s four-strand education at both campuses. That is why our goal is 100% participation within our Collingwood community. Every gift ensures that we are able to inspire and support our students toward meaningful lives.

How Does the Tartan Fund Work?

While the Tartan Fund is open to donations year-round, we focus our fundraising efforts during Tartan Week, which this year is Tuesday November 25th to Tuesday December 2nd. By requesting gifts at this time, it ensures we are meeting the needs of our students within the current school year. We encourage all members of our community to donate in a way that is meaningful for you.

How to Give

Monthly Giving:

A monthly commitment is the most effective way to support students’ needs. Please visit collingwood.org/giving/donate to make a monthly gift on your credit card.

Monthly giving impact:

$25 a month = $300 a year
$250 a month = $3,000 a year
$500 a month = $6,000 a year

One-Time Gifts:

Donations can be made by cheque, credit card or gift of stock. Donations by cheque can be dropped off at the Collingwood Senior School Campus. Donate by credit card at collingwood.org/giving/donate or by calling the Advancement Office at 604-925-3331 extension 1182. One-time donations can also be made by Bank Draft or wire transfer.

Gifts of Securities/Stock:

You can donate publicly listed securities (shares). Donating appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds) to a registered charity can turn a potential tax bill into a tax deduction. Contact Theresa Blancaflor, Director of Advancement, by email for more information.

All donations over $20 will be tax receipted.
