Why monthly giving matters

Make a life-changing impact every day

Become a Monthly Donor

Why are monthly donors important

When you choose to Care Hard every month, children can count on UNICEF every day. Together with a community of supporters across Canada, you help bring healthcare, nutrition, clean water, education and protection to children around the world. 

Your ongoing support helps UNICEF act quickly when emergencies strike and stay long after the headlines fade. Whether responding to hurricanes and earthquakes or helping children facing prolonged crises in places like Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, Ukraine and Gaza, you help ensure children get the support they need, for as long as they need it. 

When you become a monthly donor with UNICEF Canada:

  • You’ll join an incredible community dedicated to building a better world for every child.
  • You’ll help the world’s children every day by investing in their health, safety and future all year long.
  • You’ll receive exclusive updates showing the real impact you’re making around the world with regular videos, emails and reports.

Monthly giving makes your donation go further

With humanitarian crises escalating worldwide, children’s rights and survival are threatened like never before. UNICEF is committed to being there for children whatever the challenge may be. Your monthly donations ensure we can: 

Plan ahead 

Continuous funding means we can allocate resources more effectively, ensuring that children receive the help they need month after month. 

Provide stability 

Predictable support means we can maintain essential programs without fearing that funds will run out. 

Maximize impact 

Knowing that we will receive a certain amount each month allows us to set realistic goals and achieve them.

Students at a UNICEF-supported school in Afghanistan smile as they receive new backpacks and colored pencils . In 2023, UNICEF, with the help of our monthly donor community, distributed learning materials to 6.3 million students in Afghanistan.

Be part of our long-term work
