Contribute
Our mission is only possible with your support.
100% of your contributions go directly to supporting the life and work of Saint Andrew's.
Ways to Contribute
Your contributions in all their forms are important and valued. Without our supporters, we could not do the work we do.
Donations and offerings are not the only way to contribute either! The gift of time and talent are integral to our community too. Go to the 'Get Involved' page to see how you can participate and give.
We are grateful for your support!
St. Andrew's is a charitable organization registered with Canada Revenue Agency #131575193 RR0001.
We issue tax receipts for donations and gifts over $20.
