The Employee Giving program enables Coast Mountain College staff to have a nominal amount of money deducted from their pay to contribute to student scholarships, awards & bursaries.
For as little as $10 per pay cheque, you can choose the bursary or award that you would like to contribute to. A big thank you to the staff members who have already signed on to the program.
Did you know?
- 100% of donations go to students and you get a charitable tax receipt automatically on your T4
- If every staff member gave just $10 every pay day we would be contributing approximately $52,000 annually to student Scholarships, awards and bursaries.
