Corporate Donations and Partnerships
The Vimy Foundation is categorized as a Registered Charity by the Canadian Revenue Agency, and actively seeks donations from both corporate and private contributors. Some donations are collected through the mail or in person, but most are received through our Web site by clicking here. Tax receipts are automatically issued for donations of $50 or more, but receipts for $10 to $49 donations are issued on request only.
The Vimy Foundation welcomes co-sponsorship with like-minded organizations who believe that the message of Vimy Ridge fits into their company’s overall charitable giving. The Foundation is open to flexible arrangements, including corporate branding and media promotion, which create an added benefit to our sponsors. Such arrangements have proved extremely beneficial to both parties. Currently, the Vimy Foundation is proud to be linked to the following organizations:
- The Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation, official sponsor of the Beaverbrook Vimy Prize;
- TD Waterhouse, official sponsor of Vimy: Canada's Coming of Age at Encounters with Canada;
- Historica Foundation, official partner of Vimy: Canada's Coming of Age at Encounters with Canada;
- ZSA Legal Recruiting, founding sponsor of the Vimy Pin and Vimy Pilgrimage Medal programs.
The Vimy Foundation is especially grateful to its municipal partners - the French cities of Arras, Douai and Péronne and the London borough of Harrow, for sponsoring French and British students from their communities for the Beaverbrook Vimy Prize.
