CANADA PLAN HELPS THE COUNCIL TO PLAN AHEAD
Reflecting on her commitment to the Council of Canadians, this is what Dorothy Inglis has to say about being a monthly supporter:
“I am happy to give monthly donations to the Council of Canadians because I admire the organization’s important work. The Council has been our warning system: calling for citizen involvement in protecting the things we hold dear, and keeping us informed and active.”
The Council depends on our dedicated members to support our work, so we can continue to promote Canadian independence, stand up for public health care, challenge unfair trade laws, and protect Canada’s water. Our monthly supporters truly help to make a difference with their steady and ongoing generosity.
What is the Canada Plan?
The Canada Plan is the Council’s monthly giving program. Members authorize the Council to make monthly withdrawals from their bank account or credit card in an amount of their choosing. Canada Plan members receive Canadian Perspectives magazine throughout the year, as well as other tokens of our appreciation.
The Canada Plan is a vital component of our fundraising efforts. Steady support from our members enables the Council to plan ahead, and to work on urgent issues as the need arises. It helps to reduce our administrative costs, so we can devote more of your dollars to our vital campaign work.
Members of the Canada Plan find it beneficial because monthly donations enable them to spread their donation out over the year instead of giving a larger donation in a lump sum. The plan is flexible: members are able to increase, decrease, postpone or stop donations at any time. It is also convenient: Canada Plan members have their Council membership automatically renewed every year.
“I have been contributing to the Council of Canadians through the monthly donor plan for several years,” says Marion Moore. “This works well for me, because I never have to remember to renew my membership. Also, because I am on a limited budget, it is good to have my donation spread out throughout the entire year.”

 “I believe in the Council of Canadians. The monthly giving program is simple and easy because I don’t have to renew my membership each year. It’s more manageable than giving a larger one-time donation. I know it’s being deducted automatically and I don’t even notice. When I receive the mailings I know I’ve already contributed.”
