How to apply for a donation

Opus endeavours to support as many organizations as possible each month by ensuring that our budget is distributed fairly. We will often choose to assist numerous groups with smaller donations, rather than choosing to only assist one or two groups with a larger donation.

In keeping with this approach, we are not always able to assist the same group for multiple years in a row, however we always encourage you to apply again with different events. Please note that due to the volume of requests received, we cannot guarantee assistance to all requests.

You can submit your donation request directly to your nearest store location, or feel free to send it to our Opus Administration office. For complete contact information for our stores and administration areas, please see Opus Store Locations.

How to apply for a donation from Opus:

1. If you feel your organization has a project on the go which falls within our general criteria and is in need of assistance with materials, please feel free to submit a donation request to us.

All requests must be in writing on official society or school letterhead. Please be as specific as possible in indicating what your needs are, and any deadlines that you may have. We would also appreciate an outline of the proposed project and a summary of the focus of your organization or school, as this information will help us to make an informed decision about your request for support.

2. Deadline for Donation requests: Please consider sending your request well in advance, preferably at least 6 weeks before the date you would need a response so that we have adequate time to respond because we cannot easily accommodate last minute requests. We will do our best to reply to all donation requests received and encourage you to contact us to confirm receipt of your request if you have not received a reply.

Thank you.
