Donate to GOV 2025

Donations help us take care of the Indigenous youth who attend the event. We are deeply grateful for all donations, whether it is enough to buy a delegate’s lunch or help us equip all 1000+ youth with backpacks and journals. 

If you would like to discuss making a financial contribution to our event, please reach out to Rebecca Lang at [email protected]. We would be thrilled to hear from you!

 

The Great Giveaway

Each year, we ensure that the Indigenous youth depart not only with enhanced knowledge and newfound connections, but also with tangible items, including sporting goods and books, to take back to their home communities. These invaluable contributions are made possible through the generous donations of our corporate partners who wholeheartedly support GOV. Without their unwavering support, the “Great Giveaway” simply wouldn’t be possible.

GOV2023-1221

We love when Santa comes early! Here are our favourite items to give to our amazing youth delegates on your behalf.

GOV swag bags are given to the youth upon arrival to GOV to help them feel welcome and comfortable throughout the event. Because we give a swag bag to every youth who attends, we need about 1000+ of each item. Ideal items include:

  • Backpacks
  • Pens
  • Notebooks
  • Reusable Cutlery Sets
  • Water bottles
  • Umbrellas
  • Hand sanitizer

For Great Giveaway donations, we appreciate having multiples of items (minimum 50+). The variety of items combined with a high quantity of each helps the youth find something they love without the competition aspect!

Ideal items include:

  • Hockey sticks
  • Lacrosse sticks 
  • Sports balls
  • Tennis racquets
  • Disk gold sets
  • Spike ball sets
  • Yoga mats

  • Moccasin kits
  • Mitten kits
  • Puzzles
  • Polaroid cameras
  • Books

Door prizes help us incentivize youth to participate in certain events, and make GOV more exciting and fun!

The youth love to win the following items:

  • Nintendo switch
  • Xbox
  • PS5
  • Camera
  • Laptop 
  • Ipad
  • Golf set 
  • Sports tickets
  • Gift cards
  • Beaded items (medallions, hats, etc.)

We like to keep a supply of basic hygiene items that youth may have forgotten at home. It’s one way that we show youth that we care about them and their comfort during GOV. 

Ideal items include:

  • Toothbrushes
  • Toothpaste
  • Deodorant 
  • Feminine hygiene products
  • Lip balm 

We like to have items like sensory and fidget toys and stress balls to help our youth feel more comfortable during the conference.
