If you can give more,

We've always been persuaded that the HIV/AIDS pandemic can be defeated. The knowledge and determination exist in Africa. What is lacking are the resources. The big money to turn things around must come from governments or very large Foundations. The small amounts of money, which can salvage the dignity of individual lives and restore hope to communities, can come from us.

We've been humbled by the response of Canadians to the Foundation. Your compassion and concern is overwhelming. We wouldn’t ask for more unless we believed whole-heartedly in what your donations could accomplish; quite simply, they have not only transformed the lives of those affected, but they have brought a sense of possibility and infectious optimism on the ground.

So if you can give more, please do. All of the methods are outlined below: cheque, credit card, monthly, annually…whatever you deem feasible. Your contribution will continue our solidarity with those who continue to struggle.

There are many ways to give to the Stephen Lewis Foundation:

• Cheque or money orders – mail contributions to our new address, payable to Stephen Lewis Foundation. Please ensure that your name, address and phone number are included on the cheque so that we can send you a tax receipt.

• Credit card - donate with your credit card through our secure website partnership with CanadaHelps or call us at 416-533-9292.

• Make a monthly contribution - arrange a pre-authorized monthly deduction from your credit card or bank account. This allows us to plan ahead knowing that we have a reliable source of revenue. Just call us at 416-533-9292 or visit our website for details.

• Bequests - leave a meaningful legacy by contributing to the Stephen Lewis Foundation in your will.

• Tribute gift - give a thoughtful gift in someone's memory – or honour someone’s birthday, wedding, anniversary, graduation or other special occasion.

• Get involved - mobilize your community to fundraise and learn about HIV/AIDS. For ideas please visit the Share Ideas page on our website!

• To donate from the US - write a cheque payable to
  ‘Stephen Lewis Foundation - TIDES Foundation’
