Ways to Give

Special Olympics is about sports, but it is also about so much more.
For children, youth, and adults with an intellectual or developmental disability, Special Olympics becomes a place of welcome -- a place where they will be accepted for who they are, build strong friendships, learn critical life skills and feel safe to showcase their authentic selves.
Your support helps to provide the programs, mentorship, and resources required by our athletes, coaches, and volunteers to impact the lives of thousands of individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability across Canada.
Your contribution, no matter the size, will aid us in ensuring that the thousands of children, youth and adults with an intellectual or developmental disability disability who use our programs are able to continue to do so.
