Why Monthly Giving?

Four things TVA could do with more monthly donors

Written by David Alexander

As a volunteer-driven, charitable organization, the Toronto Vegetarian Association relies on a variety of unpredictable sources of funding. We know one thing for sure: without funds the work that we do would not be possible.

Our new membership campaign, Project 2010,  is one component of a funding structure that has long-term viability. Another source of stable funding is monthly giving - that's why we've launched our new monthly giving program.

As a monthly donor, you'll ensure that the Toronto Vegetarian Association is able to keep running important programs like the Veggie Challenge, our drop-in Resource Centre and the Annual Vegetarian Food Fair for years to come.

With your monthly gift of $10, $25 or $50 per month, we'll know that we can count on your support, allowing us the luxury of being able to expand our efforts, to reach out into new communities and to deliver information about healthier, greener, more peaceful food choices in innovative new ways.

Just think of what we could achieve with the kind of forward-thinking action that monthly donors make possible!

1. Compassion Week - Held in the spring, these events would promote compassion for farm animals through arts programming.

2. A vegetarian day of the week - Tens of thousands of Canadians, including notable public figures, actors and musicians endorsea veg day of the week as a way of promoting healthy, sustainable eating.

3. TVA-sponsored lecture series - The Veg Lectures provoking discussion about plant-based eating at Universities and Colleges in the Greater Toronto Area.

4. Daily media requests - TVA representatives are interviewed for TV, radio and newspapers, helping to spread the word about the many joys and benefits of veg living.

With your support, we can get to work on these initiatives and much more. With your monthly gift we'll have the financial security needed to move ahead as we provide inspiration and support to the next generation of vegetarians.

Together, we'll start building the healthier, greener, more peaceful planet. We know it's possible because we can feel it.
