The Neighbourhood

The Neighbourhood Monthly Donor Program

The Neighbourhood is a community of passionate and informed people who give monthly to Calgary Homeless Foundation to support the fight against homelessness.

Giving monthly is simple and flexible:

Simple: donations are automated and by credit card. Simply choose an amount you are comfortable with and the date (1st or 15th of the month), and we do the rest.
Less paperwork: you don’t need to keep track of multiple charitable tax receipts. We will issue a single tax receipt in February for the total you donated in the previous year.

As a member of The Neighbourhood, you can also sign up for our exclusive newsletter and get the inside scoop on how your gift is changing lives.

Join The Neighbourhood and learn about the impact of your gift.
