Make a Difference
Like you, we believe that all children, youth, and adults should have access to expert, specialized learning support, regardless of their ability to pay.
Why LDS – Learn. Develop. Succeed.?
Every dollar you donate will contribute to our Bright Futures Bursary Fund, ensuring subsidized support for those who need it most.
With less than 5% of our annual budget coming from any government grants, we depend on the generosity of donors, sponsors, and grantors like you to continue making a difference for those in financial need.
Thanks to supporters like you, LDS has been transforming lives through learning since 1970!
We break down barriers.
We ensure that anyone who needs our support can access it, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographical location. LDS provides comprehensive, tailored learning support to meet the unique needs of all learners, empowering them to succeed.
Our methods work.
And we have the data to prove it.
UBC studies have shown remarkable advancements in our students’ literacy and math skills.
We effect social change.
According to a report from the Justice Institute of BC and the Vancouver Board of Trade, early interventions for disadvantaged kids lead to reduced instances of crime, teenage pregnancies and welfare dependency.

Why I Give
I am proud to support LDS because of the important work it is doing to empower and support individuals with learning differences, regardless of their financial capacity, from early childhood through to adulthood. LDS’s programs and resources are making meaningful differences in the lives of the individuals and families it serves, and are ultimately helping to foster greater equity and inclusion in society at large.
