We do not have to be rich to make a difference. Collectively, we have the power to help save lives, feed the hungry, support the elderly, look after the needy, and do so much more. 

GIV3 is about encouraging Canadians to give 3% of income and volunteering 3 hours a month to charitable causes. It's the right thing to do. Read about how we arrived at these levels. You may not know that the average Canadian is wealthier than the average American, and yet we only donate half as much money per person. Canadians are caring people. And caring people help others.  

As Mother Teresa once said: "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one". It will certainly make a difference to that one person!

We also hope you will enter our (free) "Great Canadian Charity Contest", vote for your favourite charity quotes, try the donation calculator, and be inspired by Granny's neat "Club 21" - Don't miss it.

Dare to Care!
