“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not” Dr. Seuss
The Vancouver Avian Research Centre Society is a Registered Canadian Charity (# 82118 2656 RR0001) and volunteer organization.
Donations to a registered charity are of course tax deductible and we hope that people concerned about avian environmental issues in Vancouver will consider making a donation to further VARC’s work.
Donations may be made directly to VARC by simply clicking on the link below or by sending a cheque payable to VARC to the address on our ‘Get In Touch’ page.
If you make a donation to VARC, sign up for a bird walk or a workshop you are entitled to become a member of VARC.
There is no additional cost to being a member and membership will entitle you to attend our AGM and vote on issues involving VARC. We encourage you to be involved!
Other ways to donate!
Donate via Chimp:
Chimp is an online charitable account for individuals and when you deposit money into your account, you receive a tax receipt immediately. The funds can then be donated immediately or simply saved to give another day. If you’re familiar with charitable lingo, a Chimp Account is like your own private foundation. Or you can think of it as a savings account for VARC!
Just click on the link below, click the donate tab, click ‘Find a Charity’ and enter Vancouver Avian Research Centre!
