Donate to the learnary

Did you know that The Vancouver Learnary Society is a registered non-profit society? That means you can donate to us and bring so much more connection, creativity and curiosity into your community!

DONATE NOW

And even better – thanks to our generous supporters at the Transforming Education Society – we are now able to issue charitable tax receipts!

When you click to donate, you'll be sent to chimp.net, a Canadian based charitable donations facilitator. They charge a small admin fee (because they do the admin work!) but the rest of it comes right to us, to support our curiosity events, low-cost and free workshops, and other community-based offerings. Thank you for supporting The Learnary!
