How to Donate to SDS-Canada
Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Canada was incorporated in
1998 as a non-profit charitable foundation. Its founding members are
families and friends of children diagnosed with SDS. Our main goal is
simple. We want to give these children the gift of a normal, healthy
life. This means education, support for families and research...and
we need your help.
On-line:
Donors who wish to donate on-line via credit card can do so through
the website
which provides this service for a number of Canadian charities. The
charity.ca website will issue your tax receipt and send 92% of your
donation to SDS-Canada. Unlike direct donation, charity.ca will keep
8% of your donation for expenses and overhead.

SDS-Canada is staffed entirely by volunteers, so we are
able to keep operating costs low so that money raised can be used for
the best value; over 90% of funds raised go directly to research. The remainder goes into resources for members (eg. information booklets, newsletters) and administrative costs.
If you would like more information, please contact us
at sdscanada@sympatico.ca.
Let's work together and continue our successful fight to help those with Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome!
