Third-Party Fundraising
WINGS Third-Party Fundraising
Thank you for your interest in hosting a third-party fundraising event to benefit the WINGS of Providence Society (WINGS). These types of events help us raise important funds each year, and we are grateful for your support.
WINGS is honoured to be the recipient of events and initiatives hosted by a diverse community of supporters. We’re excited to work with you!
A third-party fundraising event is any activity by a non-affiliated group or individual, where WINGS has no fiduciary responsibility and little to no staff involvement. These events are hosted by an outside party who wishes to hold a promotion, event, or sale to benefit WINGS.
In order to preserve the integrity of the WINGS name and establish expectations for every involved party, WINGS must approve all events and initiatives in advance.

In lieu of gifts, request guests to provide a donation to WINGS instead. We can provide you with a donation tracking sheet for cash or cheques or a custom event fundraising page to share why you support WINGS and to collect donations through credit cards or Apple Pay.
Host an Event
Host and event and charge for attendance. Proceeds of the event can be donated to WINGS.
School Fundraiser
Encourage your child’s school to host an event like a bike-thon, read-a-thon, or a bake sale.
