How You Can Help
NCDC / NCDF is always happy to receive assistance in a variety of ways. Our primary need is for funds to finance the projects. Donations can be allocated to specific projects. Any donation over $25.00 is tax deductible in Canada.
US donations will soon be eligible for tax receipts. When this process is complete, details will be posted here.
For your convenience, we're registered with Canada Helps, which securely processes the donations. Our administrative costs are very low, allowing a very high percentage of the donations to go directly to the projects.

Donations in kind
We are always happy to receive medical equipment and supplies, and are also on the lookout for assistance with overseas shipping. Donations of eyeglasses, laptop computers and modems are always gratefully received. If you can help with any of these items or services, please contact us. Immediate needs include: Global Positioning System (GPS) units and mapping software.
Volunteering
We have received queries in the past from people wishing to donate time and effort while in Nepal. While we applaud the sentiment behind these offers, we are too small an organization to be able to utilize this very valuable resource properly. If you are planning a trip to Nepal, and wish to get involved in development on a volunteer basis, we suggest contacting organizations such as Volunteer Abroad.
However, if you are interested in spending an extended period of time in Nepal, and have a background in engineering, agriculture, project management, medicine or teaching, please contact us. We are able to arrange volunteer positions in the area under certain conditions.
Locally (Toronto area), we would welcome help with fundraising and promotion.
