Every dollar raised helps our youth soar to new heights. Thank you for your support!

Fundraising with Flipgive

This season, fundraising for 872 Kiwanis-Kanata Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron is going to be so much easier with FlipGive, a free fundraising app.

872 earns cash back on every purchase you make all year long! All you have to do is shop any time with the brands you already love, like Home Depot, Walmart, Sport Chek, Indigo, Old Navy, Apple, Esso, and Loblaws. It’s completely virtual and contactless.

There are three great ways you can help support 872 with FlipGive by spending money you would have spent anyway:

1) Buy gift certificates for friends and family as gifts for Christmas, birthdays and more. Among others, right now Indigo is offering 6% back, and the ultimate restaurant gift card is offering 10% back for our squadron for a limited time.

2) Buy gift certificates for your everyday purchases from companies like Loblaws, Sobeys, Esso and restaurants and use them to pay for groceries, gas and dinners out. For instance, a $250 gift certificate for Sobeys earns $6.25 for the squadron for groceries you would have bought anyway! And the gift certificates are sent directly to your email almost immediately, so no worries about picking up/being shipped physical cards!

3) Purchase many items directly in app and get percentages back for our squadron for actual purchases.

There is so much to explore and it’s so easy to give back to your squadron through these e-gift cards for use for your purchases or as gifts and through direct in app purchases:
