Becoming a partner with Opportunity International is about far more than giving money. A partnership with Opportunity is a partnership with the poor themselves.

Partnering with the poor can be a powerful statement to your investors, employees, customers and members that you are globally minded, ethically accountable and personally engaged in making this world a better and more equitable place.

Opportunity's reputation as the world’s largest Christian microfinance charity makes us worth talking to. We invite you to make Opportunity International Canada your “Charity of Choice”. Here are just some of the ways in which we can work together:

          • Payroll giving and matching giving initiatives
          • Event sponsorship
          • Insight trips for staff to see our work on the ground (can be
            combined with business trips)
          • Pro-bono contributions (access to your training programmes
            and resources for example)
          • Direct grants to fulfill your charitable giving policies

Individual Partnerships
          • Make a gift to Opportunity International – every dollar counts
            to someone who lives on less than $2 a day
          • Encourage a friend, your church or civic organization to give a gift
          • Go on an Insight Trip to meet Opportunity clients for yourself
          • Organize a meeting in your neighbourhood, church, or
            community group and invite an Opportunity staff person to
            speak at the event
          • Pray for the poor and those that are working way out of poverty
