Why give to The Marriage
Project?
|
Healthy and lasting marriages
As
a not-for-profit organization committed to helping couples create healthy
and lasting marriages, The Marriage Project depends significantly on the
gifts of friends.
Excellence for over 22 years
Because churches and individuals give to our organization, we have been able
to provide excellence in marriage education over the past 22 years
for hundreds of couples. We have been able to keep tuition costs manageable
and to provide a high level of instruction.
Special programs
While the Marriage Project generates almost enough income from workshop fees
for administrative costs, we rely on gifts to initiate special programs and
program updates. For example, gifts help us to provide :
-
Subsidies for couples that do not have the financial resources to cover
workshop registration
-
Professional in-service training for workshop facilitators
-
Development and upgrading of workshop materials to keep them contemporary
and attractive
-
Special program initiatives such as one currently "in the works." This is
to provide on-line marriage education and/or internet based "virtual"
workshops for the benefit of couples living in rural B.C. (and elsewhere)
who do not have access to marriage education in their communities.
-
Development of a new "student manual" for couples' use in workshops.

Donations in Kind
We depend especially on the
churches that donate space to us in which to
hold workshops. We're very grateful to:
-
St. Andrew's Anglican Church in
Langley,
-
St. Martin's Anglican Church in North Vancouver,
-
South Arm United
Church in Richmond,
-
Northwood United Church in Surrey
-
Knox
United Church in Vancouver
-
St. Philip's Anglican Church
We also depend on the generosity of our
workshop facilitators and counsellors who accept far less than they are worth to do
the work they do for us! |

Giving opportunities:
-
Membership. For $20.00 become a Member of the Interchurch Marriage
Project Association
-
Bursary Funds. Think about covering the registration fee of $245.00
for a couple in financial hardship.
-
Special projects. Direct your gift to a special project or
initiative such as those outlined above, including "virtual workshops" for couples
that live in small communities distant to the Lower Mainland.
-
The Marriage Project welcomes gifts of every amount. All amounts will be
receipted as charitable giving.
So Why Give?
Whether large or small, the gifts, when added to the efforts of others,
multiply into significant support for the important work of The Marriage
Project. About 340 couples attend marriage preparation sessions and work on
divorce-proofing their marriages each year. Healthy, happy marriages, in
turn, impact families and communities and ultimately, Canada.
Being part of the Marriage Project Team is a vote for the health of the
Nation!
