Our monthly giving program is the most convenient and effective way to support our work.
Monthly donations provide reliable, ongoing funding to our projects and your gift will help children in some of the poorest and most remote areas of Peru and Bolivia access teachers, books and countless educational resources that would otherwise not be available to them.
Canada Helps
You can make a one-time donation or monthly donation online through CanadaHelps. Receipts are issued for all donations of $20 or more.
Donate a Car!
Donate a Car Canada accepts Vehicle Donations for Alma Children’s Education Foundation. Free towing is provided in most areas across Canada, or you can drop off your vehicle to maximize your donation. When you donate your car, truck, RV, boat, or motorcycle to Alma Children’s Education Foundation through Donate A Car Canada, it will either be recycled or sold at auction (depending on its condition, age and location). Donate a Car Canada will look after all the details to make it easy for Alma Children’s Education Foundation to benefit. After your vehicle donation is complete, our charity will send you a tax receipt and will put your gift to good use. Please click here to donate a vehicle.
