Junior Achievement advocates business in the community. With your support we inspire youth to make better financial decisions, start-up a company, develop a career plan and express their innovative spirit. With the help of your financial contributions more youth will have the opportunity to take part in the JA experience. Together we make Junior Achievement the successful link between education and the world of work. There are several ways you can financially contribute to JABC success:

How to Support JA

Corporate or Individual Donation: General donations allow us the flexibility to dedicate the funds where they are most needed. General funds are typically allocated to: delivering existing programs, exploring new program options, and general operating costs. Tax receipts are available for donations of $20 and greater.

Program Sponsorship: Program sponsorship allows us to offer current JA programs to as many interested schools as possible. Programs that currently need additional funding support are: Economics of Staying in School, Business Basics Series, and JA Titan. Our program sponsors are recognized for their generosity with acknowledgment on program materials, press releases, our annual report, our website, and at our annual recognition event.

Event Sponsorship: Every year JABC hosts a number of special events. These include: Celebrate JA! Awards & Recognition Reception, our Business Laureates of BC Gala Dinner, and a number of student conferences and competitions. Our sponsors are recognized at our events and in related press releases.
