MAKE A DONATION
WHY DONATE TO SPECTRUM PRODUCTIONS?
At Spectrum Productions, we believe that every voice deserves to be seen and heard - especially those from the autism and neurodiverse communities. When you donate, you're not just giving money, you're empowering creativity, building confidence, and opening doors to opportunity.
✨Your donation supports life-changing programs.
From hands-on film and animation workshops to employment training, mentorship, and public screenings, your support gives autistic youth and young adults the tools, space, and encouragement to express themselves through media arts.
✨You’re supporting artists — not just programs.
Every film created, every animation drawn, and every story told reflects the unique perspective of an autistic creator. Your donation helps these artists share their voices with the world.
✨You’re investing in a more inclusive future.
By donating to Spectrum Productions, you’re helping to break down barriers in the creative industries and build a world where autistic artists are recognized, celebrated, and hired.
✨We’re growing, and your support helps us reach more people.
With new initiatives like our Spectrum Online Learning Platform, we’re expanding our impact through accessible online learning, free public workshops, and more inclusive digital programming.
✨ We’re a registered Canadian charity.
Any donation over $10 is eligible for a tax receipt. Our charity number is: BN 822199238RR0001.
DONATE SECURITIES
MAKE A GREATER IMPACT WHILE MAXIMIZING YOUR TAX BENEFITS
Donating publicly traded securities, mutual funds, or stock options is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. When you donate securities directly to a registered charity rather than selling them and donating the proceeds, you eliminate the capital gains tax. This means your donation goes further, and you receive a larger charitable tax credit!
Spectrum Productions will issue an official tax receipt for the fair market value of donated securities on the day the transfer is completed. You can also carry forward unused tax credits for up to 5 years.
