Give Before the Year Ends: Your $25 Donation Can Change a Life (and Earn You a Tax Receipt!)

As the year draws to a close, many of us take a moment to reflect—on what we’ve learned, what we’ve overcome, and what we’re grateful for.

It’s also the perfect time to consider the impact we can make in our community before December 31.

At TenThirtyFive Grey/Bruce, our mission is rooted in something simple and profound: to help vulnerable youth and women build confidence, dignity, and worth through mentorship and fashion. 

Every day, we see firsthand how small acts of generosity create big waves of change.

This year, we have been expanding our reach by partnering with more organizations in our community. One of our newest and most meaningful partnerships is with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Grey, Bruce and West Simcoe. Thanks to their trust and collaboration, we’ve welcomed 25 incredible youth into our participant program—young people who deserve encouragement, belonging, and the chance to discover their confidence. Your support has made collaborations like this possible, reminding us that when a community shows up, futures shift.

And right now, you can help create even more of these impactful connections.

A Small Gift With Big Impact

A charitable cash donation of $25 or more may seem like a modest gesture—but in our hands, it becomes transformative.

Your contribution helps ensure that vulnerable youth and women in our community have access to:

• Mentorship programs that build resilience and self-worth

• Styling support and clothing that help them feel confident and seen

• A safe, uplifting space where they can grow, connect, and thrive

It’s not just a donation. It’s a direct investment in confidence, dignity, and the belief that every person deserves to feel valued.

Give and Get: A Tax Receipt for Your 2025 Filing

When you donate before December 31, your gift doesn’t just make an impact—it also comes with a benefit for you.

All donations of $25 or more qualify for a charitable tax receipt, which you can use when filing next year’s tax return.

It’s a win-win:You help change someone’s life today, and you receive a financial benefit tomorrow.

Why Year-End Giving Matters

Non-profits depend on the generosity of donors to keep essential programs running—especially in the early months of a new year. Your year-end gift provides stability, hope, and continuity for those who rely on our support.

It helps us:

•  Start the year strong 

• Expand our reach to more vulnerable youth and women 

• Continue offering programs that build confidence, dignity, and worth 

• Say “yes” to more people when they need us most
