How to donate

Lamp Lifeboat Ladder depends entirely on private funding to carry out its mission to resettle refugees from the Greater Middle East to Canada. Accordingly, a donor-advised fund has been established for donations, known as the Reed Smith Refugee Resettlement Fund, that is held at Charities Aid Foundation of America (CAF America). CAF America is a well-respected 501(c)(3) nonprofit that enables cross-border giving. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.

Option 1

Donations by check, wire, or stock transfer must be accompanied by a completed gift form.

Option 2

Donations can also be made online by credit card through CAF America’s website. Donations are directed to the Reed Smith Refugee Resettlement Fund.
