You can help thousands of children and youth in Ottawa’s most vulnerable communities reach their full potential by supporting the highest priority needs of the Club or you may choose to designate your funds to the programming pillar that has the greatest meaning for you personally. Your gift will make a significant impact in serving the needs of our community.
A single gift could have a lasting impact on the lives and futures of BGC Ottawa Members. You can ensure the Club can continue to offer barrier-free services and life-changing programs.
We believe that once you're a friend, you're always a friend. That's why when you become a member of our monthly or annual giving program, you are joining others in your community who are creating better opportunities for Ottawa's children and youth. Monthly giving lets you spread your giving out throughout the year, easily budget for giving and make an ongoing commitment to BGC Ottawa

Did you know that the federal government has eliminated the capital gains tax on donations of publicly listed securities to registered charities? If you own stocks or mutual funds that have grown in value, you will face a tax bill when you sell them. By donating them directly to BGC Ottawa you can eliminate your tax bill and make a significant gift at the same time. This giving option is attractive if you have appreciated investments and wish to donate from savings rather than cash flow.
