Great Canadian Giving Challenge


  • Helen Schuler Nature Centre (map)

Every $1* donated in June is a chance to WIN!

Donate to any charity in Canada this June and automatically give them a chance to WIN $20,000* during the Great Canadian Giving Challenge!

As charities continue to support our most vulnerable community members affected by COVID-19, food banks, mental health crisis lines, homeless shelters, and other frontline charities need urgent support. Plus, the cancelation of in-person fundraising events and activities are putting some charities such as art galleries, festivals, and others at risk of permanently closing their doors. Now more than ever, your favourite charity needs your support.

Tell your family, friends, and community about the Great Canadian Giving Challenge to help spread the word and encourage others to join the challenge. Share this page on social media and use the hashtag #GivingChallengeCA to join the conversation.

What is The Great Canadian Giving Challenge? It is a National public contest to benefit any registered Canadian charity. Every $1 donated to a registered charity in June via CanadaHelps.org, automatically enters the charity to win an additional $20,000 donation.

*Donations must be made via canadahelps.org. Minimum $3 donation required. Contest runs from June 1, 2021 at midnight Newfoundland Daylight Time (NDT) to June 30, 2021 at 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). See full rules at: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/givingchallenge-rules.

The grand prize draw will take place on July 1st, Canada Day, and one lucky charity will receive this new grand prize of $20,000. Donations must be made via givingchallenge.ca or canadahelps.org 

The Friends of the Helen Schuler Nature Centre Society encourages you to consider giving to support charitable causes in our community. There are many worthy causes in our region that need your support!!

This year we’re asking donors to support our campaign to help increase the Endowment Fund while also entering us for a chance to win the $20,000 grand prize!

Thank you to all of our donors, volunteers, and supporters! We appreciate your encouragement as we inspire closer relationships between people and the natural world around us.
