World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.
In 1957, Canada’s first World Vision office opened in Toronto. Today the new national headquarters, overseen by president Dave Toycen, is one of World Vision’s busiest offices. World Vision is Canada’s largest private relief and development agency. In 2007, Canadians sponsored 454,309 children around the world.
Independent and major label artists have discovered a way to combine their philanthropic spirits and help cover their touring costs. And you can use your talent to help transform the lives of children in need.
World Vision’s Artist Associates program offers a unique alternative to traditional backing by providing financial tour support for performers who take the message of hope to the stage.
In 2005, nearly 50 artists teamed up with World Vision. At their performances, the artists asked concertgoers to make a difference by sponsoring a child. More than 3,000 signed up last year alone.
At their concerts, performers invite their audiences to make a difference by sponsoring a child. World Vision provides display materials about child sponsorship at the performance venue so audience members can become a child sponsor.
