Each year, beginning on Giving Tuesday, CFIC launches its annual appeal for funds. While this year’s appeal will run approximately the same course as it has in previous years, the need for support has never been greater. The political tide has turned. Around the world, right-wing governments, often backed by fundamental religious groups, are being swept into power, and as this takes place, basic human rights are being eroded, and gains which have been made in secular governance are being washed away. The democratic process is being undermined by disinformation, rhetoric, and self-interest. CFIC is needed now more than ever. To do more, we need you.
With the Trump election and the rise of the Right in Canada, I’m sure organizations like CFI Canada are going to need all the help they can get
Ron Peterson,
CFIC member since 2015
Our members have been very generous over the past year. In the last 12 months we have worked tirelessly on the issue of public funding of Catholic schools; we have brought you 26 podcasts focusing on science, critical thinking, and secularism; and we have published 11 issues of Critical Links. Thanks to you, we are launching some exciting new projects for 2024. These projects will lead to better treatment of atheists (and other non-Christians) in Canada’s justice system. They will continue to chip away at the issue of discriminatory public funding of Catholic schools, and elevate our work on critical thinking. Watch for more information in the coming months. With your help, we can do even more.
Thanks to everyone who purchased a membership, made a monthly gift, or donated when they could. We are a little organization that is growing.
We need you. If you can give, please do. If you have time to give, let us know. We have lots of volunteer opportunities and would be happy to explore them with you (email volunteers@centreforinquiry.ca or fill out a volunteer application form). At this time, we must all row together if we are to hold back the tide on extremism. This year, when we launch our campaign, why not hop in the boat?
Watch for the CFIC campaign kicking off December 3! Or, even better, why not make your donation early?
