Ways to Give
360 Kids has options to suit your needs for donations. Become a donor or learn where to drop off essentials for those in need.
How to Become A Donor
General Donation
Your donation can transform the lives of young people in our community. Every gift, no matter the amount, is greatly appreciated and makes a difference. By giving unrestricted funds, you allow us to allocate resources where they are needed most, ensuring our programs continue to thrive and support those who need it the most
Become A Monthly Donor
By becoming a monthly donor, you provide ongoing, sustainable support for vulnerable youth. Your contributions help us offer stable housing, education, and job opportunities—more than just emergency shelter, we offer hope and a path to brighter futures.
Power 100
Be part of a special group committed to protecting vulnerable youth. Through our Nightstop program, we’ve provided 338 young people with 887 nights of safe, temporary housing. By joining, you directly contribute to their safety and well-being. Stand with us and make a lasting impact!
Bequest
A bequest, the most common type of future gift, is a commitment made through your Will to be distributed by your estate upon your death. A bequest may be a specific piece of property, sum of money or a portion of your estate. Most people make a bequest when their Wills are drawn.
Securities
Now more than ever, it is attractive to donors to gift publicly traded securities to charities. You can now give stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares, as well as futures and options without paying the capital gains tax. To make a gift of securities to 360ºkids, please contact us to receive a copy of our Securities Transfer Form and discuss these personal options with your financial planner.
Life Insurance
A gift of life insurance will enable you to make a major gift through a policy you already own or through a series of affordable premium payments. There are a number of ways to donate and plan your gift using life insurance.
RSPs and RRIFs
It is now easier to donate the proceeds of your Registered Retirement Saving Plans (RRSPs) and Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs) to a designated charity like 360ºkids. Simply change the beneficiary information on the plan document and advise the institution holding your retirement account of the change.
