Because of you, our students can flourish!

Make a difference this holiday season! As we reach the end of 2024, and you consider your end-of-year giving to causes that matter most to you, please consider making a meaningful impact in the lives of students facing financial challenges. By contributing to an Emergency Bursary, our Alumni Bursary or our Georgian FoodLocker, you're investing in the future workforce of our communities.

Donations made before December 31, 2024, not only support our vital mission but also come with valuable charitable tax receipts. This is a fantastic opportunity to give back while maximizing your tax benefits. Don’t miss out—your generosity can create lasting change and provide you with financial advantages.

Donate now and double your impact!

Matching funds available! Your generosity can have an even greater impact—belairdirect is matching all donations up to $7,500 until the end of 2024. This means that every dollar you give will be doubled, amplifying your support to empower our students. Because of you, Georgian students can pursue their academic goals with less financial burden.
