We can all do something
At SACE, we believe that inability to pay should not be a barrier to receiving support. Your donations are greatly appreciated and help us to offer no-fee services and support to thousands of individuals who are affected by sexual assault and abuse in our city every year.
One of the easiest ways to donate to SACE is by sending an Interac E-Transfer to accounting@sace.ca. 100% of your donation will automatically be deposited into our account and SACE will incur no processing fee. For donations $20 and above, please provide us with your full name, full address or email address, and what the money is intended for (e.g. general donation or donation for a specific program) in the message box and we will send you a tax receipt. Please note, under Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)’s policies, there are some situations where we are not able to issue a tax receipt, such as in most third-party fundraisers. To learn more, check out this infographic by the CRA, or email info@sace.ca to speak with a member of our team.
