Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind operates a fundraising program in which plastic
collection dogs are placed into businesses. This is our largest ongoing fundraising
program, earning revenue of over $300,000 per year.
Why we need your support
We provide Guide Dogs to the visually-impaired across Canada. If someone in
your community requires a Guide Dog, we are the organization to provide it.
Therefore, you should consider us a local charity.
The CNIB DOES NOT train Guide Dogs. They refer their clients to us. We are a completely separate organization and are not affiliated with the CNIB. This is a common misconception.
We receive no government funding and rely greatly on fundraising activities, plus individual and corporate donations. The cost of providing each Guide Dog is in excess of $35,000.
Benefits to your Business
These collection dog models are very attractive to children. This will occupy many children while their parents are shopping or in line at the cash.
As we provide and train visually-impaired Canadians from all provinces and territories, the visually-impaired from your own community could benefit from your support fo CGDB.
At the end of each calendar year, we provide a Certificate of Appreciation, informing the business of how much money was raised. You are welcome to display this information in order to publicize your business' community involvement.
This program enables you to assist our organization at no cost other than one square foot of floor space. Volunteers empty the units and the funds are donated by your customers at their discretion in the form of passive solicitation. There is no direct cost to your business.
