Yes! I would like to help educate students about drinking water quality issues and solutions!
As little as $85 can MEANINGFULLY CHANGE THE PATH OF DRINKING WATER QUALITY IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND OTHER COMMUNITIES.
Over past generations, our children have been the catalyst for change, especially in relation to environmental issues from air pollution, recycling, and now unsafe water.
As an educated member of society, you likely have positive experiences from school that you still remember to this day. Make memorable learning experiences possible for students in a school near you now!
Please consider giving monthly donations as they are a convenient and helpful way for you to support our vital work.
A donation of as little as five dollars a month helps build a reliable income. This means more education, less administration, and a fulfilled vision!
Our Mission: We will educate the leaders of today and tomorrow about drinking water quality issues to realize our goal of safe drinking water being available to every Canadian.
SDWF is in need of donors to continue to educate students, engineers, community leaders and others. Agencies, foundations, corporations, institutions and individuals can not only provide monetary support but also in-kind support to SDWF.
Are you involved in an organization (for example, a company, a foundation, or a community group) that would like to donate more funds and be recognized for your generosity?
We recognize donors of any amount from $85 to over $10,000. There are different ways that we share information about your generosity based on the level of your gift. Please phone us at 1.306.934.0389 or email us at info@safewater.org if you would like to discuss possibilities.
Why Donate?
As a Canadian, you know about the problems related to drinking water in our very own developed country. We are creating a new generation of Canadians who will understand the issues, who will be smarter voters, and who will not stand on the sidelines when there are 1000 drinking water advisories in Canada.
At any given time, there are approximately 1000 drinking water advisories in place across Canada. There are many long-term boil water advisories in place in First Nations communities. An alarming number of rural and First Nations communities do not have access to safe drinking water. Please help remedy this situation.
As someone who understands the importance of education, help provide students with educational programs to develop critical thinking skills, which will empower them to become active members of their community.
Plus… tax credits! You can receive as much as 53% back through charity tax deductions. Calculate your charitable tax credit!

Donate Securities
A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes do not apply, our charity receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt that reflects your larger contribution. This allows you to give more and get more!
Donate Your Car
Safe Drinking Water Foundation is partnered with Donate a Car Canada to accept your vehicle donation! You will be provided free towing, or you can drop off your vehicle to maximize your donation. When you donate your car, truck, RV, boat, or motorcycle to Safe Drinking Water Foundation through Donate A Car Canada, it will either be recycled or re-sold (depending on its condition, age and location). Donate a Car Canada will look after all the details to make it easy for Safe Drinking Water Foundation to benefit. You will receive a tax receipt after your vehicle donation has been processed!
Legacy Gifts
Safe Drinking Water Foundation welcomes legacy gifts. Bequests are a simple but powerful way to ensure our work goes on for future generations. Please contact us at 1-306-934-0389 or info@safewater.org if you are interested in discussing a bequest.
Songs for a Brown Christmas
With the climate crisis and El Niño joining forces to break heat records across the country, and around the world, it is more important than ever that students, the leaders of the future, become environmentally literate. Doing hands-on activities makes for much more memorable learning experiences than simply reading, listening, or watching. Please help us get water testing kits to hundreds of teachers who are on the waiting list for sponsored kits because they do not have the necessary funds to be able to provide their students with relevant, authentic environmental education resources.
