If you’re looking for a unique way to make a difference, or one that best fits your financial planning, we have a host of options to choose from. And, if you have an idea that’s not listed here, contact Annual Giving Coordinator Hannah Bellamy at hannah@pushfestival.ca to discuss your idea.
Donate Aeroplan Miles
Help us reach our goal of 50,000 Aeroplan miles by December 31, 2016, and Aeroplan will top up every mile we receive from members by 10%!
New in 2016, you can donate your Aeroplan Miles to help support curatorial and artist travel. The PuSh Festival can redeem donated miles for such things as flights, car rentals, hotel stays, and merchandise.
Here are just some of the places your donated Aeroplan Miles can take our curatorial team to find the most extraordinary performing arts in the world to bring to Vancouver:
- 15,000 miles takes us round-trip to the Magnetic North Festival in Whitehorse, Canada.
- 25,000 miles gets us over to Festival TransAmériques in Montréal, Canada, and back home.
- 60,000 miles flies us round-trip to Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival in Groningen, Netherlands.
- 90,000 miles takes us to the Melbourne Festival in Australia, and brings us home again.

Host a Third Party Event
Help the PuSh Festival while having fun with friends by donating the proceeds of your private event to us. Events can be whatever you want them to be—a private concert, birthday party, wine and cheese evening, or garage sale—whatever interests you. You can fundraise among your peers in a way that feels comfortable to you and donate the proceeds to the PuSh Festival.
The PuSh Festival is happy to support you in making your event a success and will provide promotional materials and support when possible. Read our third-party events policy for more information.
Donate the proceeds of your private event. Complete the application form to get started!
Donating Securities or Mutual Fund Shares
A donation of securities or mutual fund shares is the most efficient form of charitable giving. When you donate publicly traded securities directly to the PuSh Festival, you won’t be taxed on the capital gains, allowing you to give more of what you intended. You will will receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value of your gift.
Donate securities to the PuSh Festival through Canada Helps!
Corporate Matching
Many Canadian companies match charitable donations that their employees and retirees make. Double your donation with a matching gift from your employer. Check the list below to see if your company participates in corporate matching! If your company is listed, request a corporate matching form from your employer and send the completed copy to the PuSh Festival along with your gift.
