Sponsorship and Mentorship Frequently Asked Questions
How can I sponsor a child to come to camp? What benefits are there to sending a child to Virtual Ventures?
Sponsoring a child to come to camp is a great way to contribute to the Virtual Ventures community and the larger Ottawa community.
Some of the benefits to the child of attending Virtual Ventures camp include an improved confidence in science and computer technology skills as well as gaining new skills, making new friends and experiencing a bit of University life.
Some of the benefits you may enjoy from sponsoring a child to come to camp include a feeling of pride and satisfaction, a charitable tax receipt you may use for income tax purposes as well as updates on the camp and a formal thank-you letter from camp directors. For sponsorship of $200 or more your name, company name or logo will be displayed on our website, as well this will be listed in newsletters sent throughout the year and in the final reports. Sponsorship may also be made anonymously if you so desire. Please visit our Sponsorship Page.

Again sponsorship may be made anonomously if desired. Please contact us regarding charitable tax receipts.
