Extended Family Monthly Donor Program
Why Join our Extended Family Monthly Donor Program
When you join our Extended Family, your support allows us to continue to function optimally for our guests—the women who are facing the most troubling times of their lives. This valuable source of reliable income gives us sure-footing, allowing us to plan ahead early in the year. Your commitment helps us create a haven of healing support within the house and through our after-care programs. Your generosity reassures women battling cancer—and their families—that you care. And that is what compassion is all about.
Affordable
Monthly giving is for everyone. You determine how much you want to give through easy, affordable monthly payments, all eligible for a tax credit.
Flexible
Donate by pre-authorized chequing (PAC), Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), or credit card. You’re welcome to modify your gift at any time.
Convenient
Automatic transactions save you postage and time. We issue cumulative tax receipts annually and keep you informed through regular progress updates.
Effective
Your monthly gift provides a steady source of income for ongoing health, education, and support for women during their cancer journey.
$30
per month
Your contribution provides coffee and refreshments for cancer support groups facilitated by Ambassadors in the Compassion Network, a collective of former guests active in their home communities.
$40
per month
Ongoing cancer treatments take their toll physically and mentally. This amount helps us supply fun, uplifting “nights in” for the women—like craft night or movie night.
$50
per month
Keeping a busy house functioning well is critical. Committing to this dollar amount keeps the family pantry stocked, and the house clean and inviting for the women and their companions.
$60
per month
Ensuring women get the life-changing care they need is an investment. Committing to this dollar amount provides gas for the van to transport guests to-and-from their appointments.
Our Extended Family
"I have been staying at Sorrentino’s Compassion House since October 2018. The House has everything I need. During my monthly stays, I feel like I am at home with a support system that cares about my well-being. It truly is a home away from home. Becoming a monthly donor was an easy choice for me. I contribute to the upkeep of my home in Yellowknife; therefore, I choose to give what I can to Compassion House Foundation, so they can care for my second home."
"Monthly support is my way of showing commitment to Compassion House Foundation’s mission to support women through the cancer journey. This recurring gift provides more predictability to the organization and is an easy way for me to have an impact on an ongoing basis. I believe that becoming a monthly donor sends a very clear message to the Foundation about my appreciation for their work and long-term commitment to the cause."
"Once I connected with and became passionate about Compassion House Foundation’s cause, I quickly determined that becoming a monthly donor was the easiest way for me to support their work. Monthly donations enable the organization to have predictable revenue to sustain their operations and programs. In turn, it also allows the organization to efficiently focus on delivering on their mission rather than diverting resources to fundraising."
