Individual donor contributions do make a significant difference in supporting CESO programs.

Donations of $25 or more receive an acknowledgement letter and a tax receipt. 

Contributions of $100 or more receive our quarterly newsletter, FOCUS, an acknowledgement letter and a tax receipt. A donation of $150 or more entitles you to Family Sustaining Membership status. In addition, contributors become Voting Members at the Annual General Meeting each June.

For many businesses and companies giving back to the community makes all the difference in the world.  By helping others, donors can play an active role in building viable, self-sufficient organizations. FOR EXAMPLE, a donation of $250 per year would help support:

• Delivery of financial management workshops to emerging  entrepreneurs
• Create and implement strategies to train Inuit peoples to govern more effectively

Many Canadian corporations match dollar for dollar or a percentage of an employee’s contribution to a registered charity. 

Enquire with your human resources department to find out more about their "Matching Gift Program" or your “Employee Giving Program”.
