Get Started
Thank you for donating to empower blind and DeafBlind children, teens, adults, and their families. We currently fund the bulk of the work we do through grant awards and donations from people just like you. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to come together and support each other to create empowerment across Canada.
There are three different funds to choose from. To learn more about or donate to a fund, please select one of the three options below.
Centre Development
Your donation to our Centre Development Fund will get us one step closer to making the [Bowen Island Centre for the Blind and DeafBlind](https://bowenislandcentre.ca/) a reality. The centre will allow the [Pacific Training Centre for the Blind](https://ptcb.ca/about/) (PTCB) and the [Camp Bowen Society](https://campbowen.ca/about/) to continue to provide [blindness and DeafBlindness skills training](https://bowenislandcentre.ca/training/) and [summer independence camps](https://bowenislandcentre.ca/camps/) to children, youth, and adults who are blind and DeafBlind from across Canada by eliminating our biggest barrier, the need to rent the dedicated, accessible space necessary for our programming to be effective.
Donations to this fund will cover the costs of acquiring land and developing a facility on Bowen Island, British Columbia to be used by the Bowen Island Centre for the Blind and DeafBlind to house a ten-month blindness/DeafBlindness skills training program from September to June and summer independence camps during July and August. The Bowen Island Centre for the Blind and DeafBlind is an initiative of the Canadian Organization of the Blind and DeafBlind in partnership with the Bowen Island Land Stewards Society for Blind and DeafBlind People. This component has an 8 million dollar budget. Any money raised above and beyond this goal will be put towards the renovation and long-term operation of the centre.
This fund is administered by the Bowen Island Land Stewards Society for Blind and DeafBlind People, a grassroots BC not for profit charitable organization based on Bowen Island, British Columbia.
