the gift of financial security

More than 40,000 people in the Okanagan live below the poverty line.

No one should have to borrow money to pay for food and daily expenses or decide between basic essentials or a holiday gift for their children- yet 27% of Canadians report they have to borrow money for basic necessities.

The Holiday Season is a particularly challenging time for those living with financial strain- many are forced to choose between buying food and purchasing gifts for their children. Launch Okanagan wants to change that.

with your help, we can bring the true holiday spirit to individuals and families in need so they don’t have to make that choice.

This holiday season, why not give a gift that helps individuals and families build financial stability - by donating to launch a life!

Your contributions will allow us to continue delivering financial training and matched savings grants to individuals struggling to make ends meet.

The Matched Savings Program is a 12-month program designed to help participants effectively manage their personal finances while providing the opportunity to save for their future.

Participants learn fundamentals like budgeting, saving, spending, and credit to help them make effective decisions about their personal finances. The Matched Savings Program triples the savings efforts of participants – matching $3 for every $1 saved.

Each participant saves $25 to $50 a month towards an approved asset such as:

RESP for a child’s education

testimonial

“Although the focus was on finances, I learned that I had the ability to move forward in my life. This was “huge” for me. I began to believe in myself and the fact that I have the ability to “rise” above my problems and difficulties.” - Dena, Matched Savings Participant
