There are many ways in which individual members or members of the public may support the Alpine Club of Canada. Financial donations can be made on an individual basis to the Club. As well, large donations in the past have become part of the offering of Grants and Funds available from the Club.
An individual's time is valuable, and as a result, an individual can make a large contribution to the Club by donating even a small part of their time to their local section, or to a specific national project, or by serving on any number of Club committees charged with the ongoing development of the Club.
Individuals may also be able to double the value
of their contribution to the Club if their employer has a Matching Gift
Program and many larger companies do! Many companies will make a financial
donation that matches the value of their employees' volunteer labour.
Be sure to check out your company's Philanthropy Policy.
As a registered Amateur Athletic Association (under the income tax act), The Alpine Club of Canada issues tax receipts for financial contributions.
The Alpine Club of Canada supports a variety of mountaineering-related projects and initiatives. Your generous financial donation will allow the Club to undertake projects that it could not fund from internal sources. The Alpine Club of Canada is a Registered Charitable organization and will send you a gift receipt for tax purposes. If you are resident of the United States and would like a US tax receipt, please direct your donation to the ACC Foundation.

Volunteers Wanted!
The Alpine Club of Canada is a registered non-profit organization which depends upon a large cadre of volunteers to fulfill its mandate each year. Volunteer hours are contributed towards hut maintenance, section activities, national camps and leadership training, publications, fundraising, mountain safety, access and environment issues - virtually every aspect of the Club's operation depends upon volunteers.
Given the dependency of the Club on its energetic volunteers, the National Office is continually seeking members who are interested in providing their time towards volunteer activities within the Club. Interested individuals can contactSheila Churchill, Office Manager, in Canmore for more information at any time by email at or by phone at 403 678 3200.
Mountain Guides' Ball
Each year the Alpine Club of Canada and the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides co-host the Mountain Guides' Ball, a fundraising dinner and dance at the Chateau Lake Louise. Open to all members of both organizations, the ball has become a focal point of the social calendar amongst climbers in the Bow Valley and the Columbia Mountains, a time at which everyone can come together and socialize amongst friends. Held every year in late October, the Ball serves to kick-off the week of festivals in Banff, the Mountain Book and Film Festival. The funds raised from ticket sales and an excellent silent auction are put towards the development of mountain leadership programs, training scholarships, and other club programs.
For more information on the Mountain Guides' Ball, and for information on how to purchase tickets, please visit the Mountain Guides' Ball page.
Planned Giving
Through donations to one or more of the ACC's special funds, our Planned Giving Program provides Club members with the opportunity to celebrate and express thanks for what the mountains have given us. Such donations ensure that the Club can continue to play a leading role in maintaining our wonderful alpine heritage so our children and future generations can enjoy the mountains as we have.
The ACC Planned Giving Program is a meaningful way you can leave a legacy of lasting benefit to the Club and the alpine community in Canada. You will know that your donation will be gratefully appreciated and tastefully acknowledged. It will strengthen the Club, and give personal expression to your love of the mountains.
