West Island College is a registered charity with Benevity. Their social mission is to help improve the way not-for-profits like WIC access and become eligible for corporate giving programs. Check to see if your company has an Employee Matching Program through Benevity.  If so, you make a donation and request the matching gift from your employer, who then makes their own donation to WIC. Companies often match donations at a 1:1 ratio, but some will match at a 2:1, 3:1, or even a 4:1 ratio. Benevity deducts a cause support fee and WIC receives the net amount of your donation.

You can make a donation to WIC through the ATB Cares program by clicking here. 

Type in West Island College Society of Alberta under “Find a Cause” and then click on WIC’s listing to view details and donate. Click on the red “Donate Now,” choose an amount, check the box – “Share my name and comments,” and add your name and any comments. Select a method of payment and follow the prompts. In addition to your donation, ATB will match 20% of every dollar donated up to $500 per individual and up to a monthly limit of $30,000 to Alberta-based charities. Eligible charities may receive up to $5,000 in matching per year. 

Please note: ~5% fees (Benevity support fee + merchant transaction fees) are deducted from donated funds before being disbursed to WIC.
