Corporate Matching Programs
Double Your Impact!
Employees are often encouraged to contribute to charitable organizations in their community through the creation of matching gift programs. Contact your human resources department to find out if your employer can help your gift have twice the impact.
Skipping Stone is also a registered member of multiple matching programs including:
• Benevity
• Cisco Bright Funds
Event & Program Sponsorship
By sponsoring one of our many programs or events you can promote your company while supporting the trans and gender diverse youth and families we work with.
Please contact Lindsay Peace, Executive Director at lindsay@skippingstone.ca for more info.
Third-Party Fundraisers
Hosting a fundraising event is a fantastic way to help us support the youth and families we work with and have a lot of fun with your team at the same time.
Each year, dozens of businesses, groups and organizations come together to host fundraising events to ensure we can help trans youth thrive.
We’re also happy to help out if you need some support in getting your event together.

Community Cupboard Donations
Some of our supporters choose to support the children, youth and families we work with through gifts and necessities they might not otherwise receive or have access to. Food, toiletries, and school supplies can be very helpful.
These types of donations make all the difference in our clients’ lives and are essential to the life-changing work we do.
If you’d like to make a donation, please email us to set it up.
Clothing & Cosmetic Donations
Our Expressions Program happily accepts donations of previously loved clothing, footwear, winter clothes, interview outfits, as well as makeup, hair and cosmetic products.
These items go directly to our clients in need and help them in achieving their goals of expressing themselves authentically.
Learn more here.
*** As much as we’d love to accept everything, due to the limitations of our current storage space we are currently unable to accept any more clothing donations at this time.
