Our Gift Card Fundraising Program helps local community groups and non-profit organizations raise funds to support their activities and operations. Whether you're raising money for your school council, sports team, charity, or travel club, New Horizon Co-op is here to help!

We welcome applications from:

Non-profit or registered charitable organizations exempt from taxation under the Canada Income Tax Act, whose programs and services directly benefit our community.
Not-for-profit community groups and youth organizations (non-registered groups will also be considered).

How it Works:

Your Group Earns 5% of the total amount of Co-op Gift Cards sold during your fundraiser.
Apply to Participate: Complete the application at your local New Horizon Co-op.
Pre-sell Co-op Gift Cards: Promote and sell gift cards to your community supporters. (We’ll provide sales forms.)

Payment: Provide us with a cheque for the total order amount and complete a short survey.

Gift cards are available in denominations of $25, $50, and $100 and can be redeemed at any participating Co-op location across Western Canada.

More information and requirements

Please note that at least one member of your fundraising team must have a New Horizon Co-op membership to participate in this program. Additionally, your group's mission and purpose should align with the values of New Horizon Co-op: Integrity, Excellence, People, and Community.

As a community-focused organization, New Horizon Co-op receives numerous donation and fundraising requests throughout the year. To ensure we can adequately review and respond to each request, please allow a minimum of three weeks for us to process your application.

While we strive to support as many community organizations as possible, we receive a high volume of proposals. As such, not all worthy requests will be approved. Please understand that a decision not to approve your request does not reflect the value of your organization or the important work you do for the community.

Thank you for your understanding, and for the positive impact your organization has on our community.
