How can we make a difference together?

Help us support sexually abused children and teens by giving them the services they need under one roof.

The real impact of a donation to Marie-Vincent

In concrete terms, your donations help:

• Improve access to our services and treat more young victims of sexual violence.
• Fund prevention education and awareness-raising activities through programs for adolescents and our specific training courses for professionals.
• Create innovative clinical pilot projects, such as our group therapies or care services for families arriving at Marie-Vincent.

Every donation, large or small, has a concrete impact and helps to support a growing number of young victims of sexual violence.

What is a monthly gift?

More accessible than a lump-sum donation, monthly donations have a direct impact on our efforts to improve services. By choosing to donate each month, you are providing a reliable, predictable source of income for the actions and services of Marie-Vincent. Each month, your chosen donation amount is made automatically.

How does it work?

Your chosen donation amount is withdrawn automatically from your bank account or credit card. You can increase, decrease, suspend or cancel at any time by contacting the Philanthropic Development team. You will receive a single tax receipt at the end of the year.

Why choose a monthly donation?

• It’s a simple and practical way to contribute to Marie-Vincent’s mission.
• It’s a source of predictable income for Marie-Vincent.
• It’s easy and flexible: your contribution amount is automatically withdrawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card with your authorization.
• It’s practical and environmentally friendly. Each year, you receive a single consolidated tax receipt for the total amount of your donations.
• It’s easier to budget.
• It brings you into a highly committed community.

What is an In Memoriam donation?

Your gift honours the memory of a loved one while providing concrete support for our teams’ efforts to deliver more services to children and teens.

How does it work?

Like a regular donation, you are giving to the general mission; by entering the contact details of the loved one’s family, you ensure that they are notified that a donation has been made in their memory.

Why choose an In Memoriam donation?

To honour the memory of a loved one or to fulfill that person’s wishes.

What is a charitable bequest?

Also called a planned donation, this is a thoughtful gesture that considers the donor’s financial, tax and estate situation.

How does it work?

First, we suggest you contact your notary to advise them that you want to leave a legacy to Marie-Vincent upon your death. Your notary will amend your will accordingly.

Why choose a charitable bequest?

The most common motivations for making a planned gift are:

• To support a cause that’s important to you.
• To make a difference in your community.
• To show your appreciation.
• To use tax benefits for yourself or your estate.
• To ensure the continuity of Marie-Vincent’s services and projects.

A word of advice: before taking any action, consult a professional:

• Notary
• Accountant
• Director of planned donations

BECAUSE EVERY ACTION COUNTS, become a volunteer.

Volunteering at Marie-Vincent also means contributing to promote the cause and mission.
