A reliable and consistent donation allows BALANCE to focus on the incredible programs and services not covered by core Ministry funding.
In Memory/Tribute/Celebration Giving
Whether you want to honour the passing of a loved one, or celebrate an important milestone like a graduation, wedding, retirement or a birthday.
A donation to BALANCE can have a meaningful impact.
Sponsorship
BALANCE has several incredible programs and services that receive support from corporate sponsors.
If you think your business would be a good fit, we would love to chat more regarding partnership and recognition opportunities.
Legacy Giving
By gifting just a small portion of your estate to BALANCE, while still leaving the majority to your loved ones, you are leaving an incredible legacy and making the future brighter for people with vision loss — today and for years to come.
Please reach out to us if you are considering naming BALANCE in your will, as we can assist you with the information you may require.
Employee Giving Programs
Check to see if your employer offers an employee giving program.
By making a small gift from each paycheque, or a one-time donation, giving is made easy. Many organizations that offer an Employee Giving Program also match donations, so you can double the impact of your gift! Connect with your company HR department today.

Make a gift of securities
A donation of securities including stocks, bonds and mutual fund shares is a tax-effective way to give charitably.
By donating securities directly to BALANCE, capital gains tax is eliminated allowing you to donate more. This means more money for the charity and a greater charitable tax credit for you.
