Just wanted to write that our daughter attends Lord Selkirk and we could not be happier – This school has such wonderful, marvelous teachers and staff who have created a special, welcoming place for ours and all children to be. And we like it that the children who attend Lord Selkirk come from all walks of life and feel strongly that this adds to the wealth of our daughter’s education. Thank-you Teachers and staff of Lord Selkirk! Your dedication, professionalism, and warmth are appreciated every single day.

You can, and (up to a point) we will!
If the donation comes through our system, we’ll match it up to $100,000. If it goes directly to the school, we can’t accurately track it so we can’t match funds.

Can I specify a particular school for the funds to be directed to if donating through the Adopt-a-School program?

Will the Children’s Fund match my donation directly to the specified school?

Thanks

Hello, I made a donation to Adopt a School through my workplace. Our cheques were collected in February. I would like to get in contact with someone to discuss receiving my tax receipt. Please e-mail me with the contact information of someone who can help me with this.

Thanks, Kate

Hi Lois, I’m so sorry the donation form isn’t working for you. We really appreciate your support and don’t want to make it difficult to donate to Adopt-a-School. If you’re making an online donation, the link goes to the Vancouver Foundation, which manages that for us. That link is: https://vancouverfoundation.ca/VanSunKidsfund/donateonline.asp. I’ll email you with more details including our phone number in case we can be of further assistance. Thanks again.

I have spent the last 25 minutes trying to access your “how to donate” Vancouver Foundation morass, and it keeps telling me there is no such thing as Adopt-a-School. When I tried to print your form it started printing 11 pages, with no page numbers on the website. The form in the Vancouver Sun is so tiny one can’t get the required information in the spaces.
Why is this so difficult? I am about to keep my $100.00 in frustration.

We’re gearing up for another round, likely in mid-November.

We have 20 or so binders at work here that are not being used. Do you know of any school that might like to have them? They have Toyota cars or text on the outside but could be covered easily.

I appreciate you help in this matter.
