FIND YOUR
HEART’S CAUSE

The CBM Hopeful Gifts for Change catalogue allows everyone to give to a cause that speaks to their heart. Choose your cause and look for these symbols to identify causes you want to support:

POVERTY

Poverty is a widespread, debilitating and complex social issue which is often tied to injustice and inequality. Sadly, it is estimated that more than 3 billion people — almost half of the world’s population live on less than $2.50 a day. Fighting poverty requires all of us to take action. Together we can affect change by offering a hand up toward greater economic opportunity to those who need it most.

Give to Poverty

BUILD THE CHURCH

God brings healing to a broken world through the love of local churches. Many churches in the Global South have limited resources to carry out God’s work. When you equip and empower congregations around the world to share the Gospel, you enable them to proclaim and demonstrate God’s love in their communities.

Give to Build the Church

JUSTICE

Everyone deserves dignity. We were esteemed and dignified by Christ, who came, lived and died for all of us. Unfortunately, many still continue to suffer from injustice, inequality and oppression. Take a stand against injustice and take part in restoration of all relationships towards a society that is whole and healthy.

Give to Justice

KIDS AT RISK

Every child should have the right to just be a kid. Unfortunately, in many places, children are not able to go to school, are malnourished and vulnerable and live in inhumane conditions. Help provide hope, protection, love and care to children in need.

Give to Kids At Risk

CRISIS RESPONSE

Some emergencies like earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes strike suddenly, while others like drought, prolonged rain or growing political unrest unfold over time. The most vulnerable and threatened rely on the church for help. In these times of crises, help CBM and its global partners’ network to respond immediately in helping those affected.

For more than 30 years, Canadian farmers have been working to end global hunger through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Now, you can become a “farmer”, too! Help grow a crop by sponsoring an acre of land through the Grow Hope project.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS


DONATE SEED MONEY
Purchase the “Sponsor an Acre of a Grow Hope Project” gift (see left). Your gift of $300 funds seeds and inputs for the growing season.
PLANT AND GROW
A Canadian farmer will use your seed money to grow a crop on your acre of land, alongside their own.
$300


SELL YOUR CROP
At harvest time, the farmer will sell the crop produced on your acre for about $500*.
DONATE THE FUNDS
The farmer donates 100%
of the proceeds from your acre to the CBM account at the Foodgrains Bank.
$500


MULTIPLY IMPACT
Thanks to a 4:1 matching program through the Government of Canada, a $500 profit will multiply to $2,000 when CBM uses these funds to support emergency food aid in places like South Sudan and Lebanon.

$2,000

*This amount will vary, depending on the market value of the crop.
