Sustainership

For individuals, businesses and community leaders

How can you or your organization maximize your impact on the community? There are many worthwhile causes to support. At Volunteer MBC, we believe the spirit of volunteerism is powerful and that it needs to be nurtured by caring people like you. Therefore, we have introduced a new way for you to make an impact on the community and social purpose sector. We have introduced a special membership type called the Sustainer. As a Volunteer MBC Sustainer, your contribution will make it possible for our programs and services to continue without interruption and affordably for those who can benefit, including the Volunteer MBC family of not-for-profit organizations. Check out the Advantages table below to find out how we show appreciation to our Sustainers.

Strengthening our not-for-profit members

As a Sustainer, you help our collective of not-for-profit members. You allow us to provide quality services to them all within their very low membership fee that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of their organization. This means more volunteers get engaged in the causes that need them and have a better, more meaningful experience.

Common questions

What do you mean by Sustainer? A Sustainer is an individual or business that chooses to support Volunteer MBC more deeply to make an impact. The emergence of Volunteer MBC, Peel's local volunteer centre, was itself a collective impact solution to a growing need to engage the community in meaningful volunteerism. Therefore, Sustainers are carrying that legacy today to ensure Membership is affordable for all not-for-profit organizations. In appreciation for this show of commitment, we strive to recognize and thank our Sustainers in special ways, as seen in the Advantages table.

Can I get a tax receipt as a Sustainer? We can only issue tax receipts for donations. Therefore, if you sign up as a Sustainer and request a tax receipt, we can provide it but then you would forfeit some of the promotional benefits.
