By becoming a monthly Change Maker, you are supporting First Nation, Inuit and Métis students achieve their dream of a post-secondary education. Monthly giving offers a steady and predictable source or funding and allows Indspire to plan more effectively for even greater impact.
Why you’ll love monthly giving too
Having a greater impact
Month after month, your donations will almost always total more than sporadic donations made throughout the year, allowing Indspire to support more Indigenous students dream of an education.
Monthly Giving allows you to budget
When you donate to Indspire each month, you can better plan for your donation budget and adjust the amount as necessary. Instead of waiting until the end of the year (when holiday shopping is at its peak), give a little each month and don’t feel as stretched when the giving season arrives.
Easier to track
You will get one consolidated receipt for all of your gifts in February of the following year. This makes it easier to track your gifts, knowing the receipt for all your donations will come at one time. Also, no more risk that you’ll forget to make that important charitable gift.

Why Katie became a monthly Change Maker
“I decided to become a monthly donor to Indspire for a few reasons. I wanted to increase my charitable giving in 2021; and contribute to an organization that supports Indigenous youth in Canada. When I was doing my research on various charities, I saw that Indspire was ranked by Charity Intelligence as a high impact charity and was intrigued by the work of the organization. When I attended UBC, I learned alongside many brilliant Indigenous classmates, and was a beneficiary of various forms of financial assistance to complete my degree; for those reasons, I liked the idea of donating to a charity that might help aspiring Indigenous students. I see my donation as one very small part of the ongoing work of reconciliation that needs to happen.” – Katie, Change Maker
