Donate to CANFRO
There are six ways to donate:
1. Interac e-Transfer
2. One-time payment using PayPal
3. Cheque through the mail
4. Cash (while you are in Oaxaca)
5. Recurring donations through CanadaHelps.org
6. Arranging for a Legacy Gift
Please note that although we are a volunteer not-for-profit organization, we have ongoing operating expenses. Our Board of Directors has approved a small automatic deduction from each donation to cover these expenses (held at 5% since 2014). Donors may wish to consider the net amount that will be available to their selected project(s) after this deduction. Read about How CANFRO Manages Donations.

A Legacy Gift is a planned future donation to an organization that reflects your values and strives to implement them in a way you find meaningful. A legacy gift to CANFRO will directly improve the lives of low-income Oaxacans active in our projects.
The CANFRO Coordinator would be happy to answer any questions.
