Virtual Gift Guide

Send a virtual gift for the orangutans to someone you love!

We hope this virtual gift guide will help you see that every contribution, whether large or small, can fund a really important component of this work. And that your dollars can go a long way for the orangutans and people who care for them.

An example of an e-card sent with your gift

When you select a virtual gift from this guide, you will be directed to a donation form where you can donate in honor of someone and they can receive a personalized e-card describing their special, orangutan-themed gift.

How to give a virtual gift:

  • Enter the name and email address of the gift recipient
  • Select the e-card you wish for the gift-ee to receive (see an example of the e-card to the right)
  • Choose one of the pre-set gifts or enter your own gift amount – You can donate a one-time gift or consider a monthly gift

The e-card will be sent to the email you enter as soon as the donation is processed, so if you want to print and give the gift yourself you can enter your own email address and print it out.

Just a reminder your gift tax receipt and the e-card will be delivered by CanadaHelps so look for an email from info@canadahelps.org

Thank you for your support!
