FAQs

Can my gift go towards a certain country or project?

Because of how our gifts are distributed, we can’t assign certain gifts to certain countries. Not every project cbm supports offers each of the gifts featured in our catalogue. That limits the number of countries we can send your gifts to.

In other words, we send your gift to the countries and projects that offers that particular item or service.

Can I send a card with my gift?

There are several ways to send a loved one a card with your gift.

1. You can choose not to send a card.
2. You can send and E-Card to a friend or family menber. This e-card will show your loved one that you gave an extraordinary gift in their honour, but will not include the amount of your gift! Be sure to correctly fill out your name, email address, and the email address you’d like to send the e-card to.

What are the administration costs for cbm’s Gifts of Life Catalogue?

Out of every dollar you give to cbm’s Catalogue, 9 cents goes to fundraising initiatives and another 6 cents to cover administration costs.

That frees up the remaining 85 cents to bring extraordinary gifts to some of the world’s poorest people – and help cbm plan for the future!
