To make a straight donation to the bedkit account, use the button at right. We will calculate the number of bedkits based on the amount you donate. (Bedkits are $35 each.) Tax receipts and photos will be sent to your PayPal Shipping Address.
More than bedkits
Our financial structure also makes it possible to donate to help pay our annual operating expenses, or to strengthen Sleeping Children long-term by donating to the Legacy Account.
Donating securities
Note: The Canadian Government's recent tax changes have made it more appealing to donate publicly traded securities to your charity of choice. Under new rules, you may donate stocks, bonds, trust units, futures and options, as well as units/shares in mutual funds and you will pay no capital gains tax on the appreciated value. This greatly reduces your out-of-pocket expense of making such a donation. More information here.

SCAW Volunteers = Zero Overhead
SCAW is operated by volunteers, from the processing of donations to the distribution of bedkits. Our financial structure ensures that 100% of every bedkit donation reaches a needy child. We neither receive nor request funds from any level of government. More information here.

You can raise funds for SCAW or help spread the word. Here are a few suggestions:
