Double your impact this month by making a donation to the Maple Leaf Fund. 

The Maple Leaf Fund supports newcomers to Canada with refugee status who wish to pursue or, in many cases, resume their university studies, but need to improve their English language skills. This fund covers all associated expenses including tuition, books and learning materials required to prepare for their undergraduate and graduate studies. Students leave the Renison English language programs with the ability to understand lectures, take effective notes, conduct meaningful research and prepare persuasive essays and lab reports at an advanced university level.

When you give to the Maple Leaf Fund, you support students like Nataliia (pictured above). Nataliia is a Ukrainian student supported by Renison’s Maple Leaf Fund who fled her home of Kharkiv in late May 2022. Being able to come to Canada and continue her education means a lot to Nataliia. She said that it felt like she had the chance for a peaceful life, and even said “It’s like I’ve won the lottery!”
This month, generous donors Barbara Schumacher and Carrol Hicks have stepped forward as fund champions to match each donation to the Maple Leaf Fund up to a maximum of $2,000. 

That means, every time you donate to the Maple Leaf Fund this November, you'll be turning $1 into $2!

Thank you for helping to make this happen.
