Gifts that benefit good causes, all year round!

Giving Guide

The act of gift-giving can be a heart-warming and rewarding one. What’s even greater is if you can give gifts to your nearest and dearest that benefit good causes.

Whether you’re looking for gift ideas for the book lovers in your life or a gift to say thank you to your teacher, we have something for just about everyone that are perfect gifts all year round and that benefit causes close to our hearts.  

And, we’ve put our favourite picks all in one place that you can use as a handy gift guide resource the whole year through. 

Something for young bookworms

For avid young readers, we have a 19-strong library of books written by children, for children. From science fiction to novellas and poetry, we have a storybook perfect for anyone in grades 4 – 8.

Every year, children across Canada enter their literary creations into Ripple Foundation’s Kids Write 4 Kids contest to be in with a chance of becoming the next big child author. Judged by a panel of editors, authors, faces from the publishing world and previous years’ winners, the winning title is published in paperback and ebook, with 100% of proceeds from sales benefitting the winners’ charity of choice.

As well as encouraging our next generation to read, the collection aims to inspire budding young authors to find their literary voice by seeing what their peers in grades 4 – 8 have achieved through seeing their works published.

Gifts for your teachers and mentors

We are forever grateful for ours and our children’s educators who have paved the way for promising futures. Whether it’s the end of the school term or a special teacher’s birthday, Ripple Foundation’s official merch collection that supports community programs and outreach efforts has something for everyone. 

From inspirational wall art to brighten up any work or study space, to organic tote bags that are the perfect size to carry your favourite books and t-shirts that inspire creativity, you don’t have to look too far to find something perfect for your giftee.  

And, you can feel good buying Ripple Foundation’s merch as a gift, as all proceeds benefit the creative writing programs that we bring to children all over Canada, from our Write It Workshops to the annual Kids Write 4 Kids contest to the teen blogging platform, the Wave Blog.
