GIVE THE GIFT OF A STORY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Give a gift in someone's name that helps young Canadians find their voice, or pick up merch that ships free and funds free programs.
Ripple Foundation is a 100% volunteer-run Canadian charity helping kids and teens find their voice through creative writing. Every holiday gift directly supports:
- Kids Write 4 Kids — a national writing contest that publishes young authors.
- Write It Workshops — free, skill-building creative writing sessions for youth.
- Wave Blog — a platform where young writers share their thoughts and creativity.
- Express Inspire Connect Youth Conference — a youth-led leadership and inspiring event for high school students.
How holiday giving works:
- Give in someone’s name: dedicate your gift to a friend, teacher or family member and add a personal message.
- Get your tax receipt automatically: CanadaHelps emails you an official receipt as soon as you donate.
- Shop merch with free shipping: original designs on tees, sweatshirts and totes.
- Every dollar goes further: we’re 100% volunteer-run, so your gift keeps our programs free.
Give a gift that lasts long after the wrapping paper is gone.
