The Pay it Forward Initiative
Estimated Read Time: 2 minutes
Intended Audience: Maven Collective Clients, Non-Profit Organizations, Charity Organizations
The world has had a tough couple of years, and we have all seen how much we need to unite as a community to uplift spirits and not lose heart. When times get tough, the tough get doing. With the same spirit, Maven Collective Marketing is delighted to present its Pay It Forward initiative this holiday season.
Every year, the Mavens get together to support incredible organizations and charities to help them in their endeavor of supporting those in need. We are so proud to share the ten chosen organizations this year!
Why We Do What We Do
We feel extremely fortunate to be able to support these outstanding organizations each year that enable and empower others in our community, in our country, and in our world. This initiative fuels us year-round, but when we truly get down to the opportunity to Pay It Forward each year our hearts swell and it lifts our spirits to work harder to give more year over year,"

Pay It Forward 2021: Selected Charities
Unicef - Give A Vax Program
Unicef has been tasked to procure and deliver over 2 billion vaccines to health workers and people in lower-income countries. By donating to the ‘Give a Vaccine Program’ we’ve helped with the distribution and accessibility of the COVID-19 vaccine for people around the world.
B2B Senior Digital Strategist
"Give a Vax UNICEF is a great initiative as it provides COVID vaccines to people in developing countries that may not otherwise receive a vaccine. It's important that developed countries help their neighbors around the world by sharing the limited supply of vaccines more fairly."
Fistula Foundation
Fistula Foundation is an international organization that supports women with cost-effective surgery to help them overcome an injury that occurs during childbirth. This year with the Pay It Forward Initiative, we were able to fund a complete restorative surgery for a woman in need.
Women for Afghan Women (WAFW)
The WAFW organization aims to protect and provide essential services to women suffering from afflictions and rights violations through the unstable situation in Afghanistan.
Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS)
The IRSSS is a provincial organization with a 20-year of history of providing essential services to Indian residential school survivors and their families through health and cultural support.
“With the recovery of hundreds of children’s bodies buried in unmarked mass graves on the sites of former residential schools across Canada this year, we’ve all been made even more acutely aware of the horrific abuse that indigenous children underwent in those facilities. The lasting damage of the residential schools’ program on future generations of indigenous families can’t be overstated. The IRSSS is an important resource for those families, supporting survivors with counseling, health, and cultural services."

Digital Marketing Strategist
"I am a huge fan of the Crisis Centre of Canada and the work that they do to help those in need. Over the last year, mental health has become more important than ever with so many people affected by the global pandemic. I am grateful for the Crisis Centre of Canada being there for people during these extremely difficult times. Our support helps the Crisis Centre of Canada continue to help those that need it most."

Ronald McDonald House BC
The Ronald McDonald House BC delivers housing to over 2,000 families per year that are far from home when receiving care for children’s illnesses and major medical procedures. The house is a place of healing and provides comfort to families in tough times with the chance to be present with their loved ones.
“A lot of lives have been turned upside down over the last year and we just wanted to make a difference, even one family, if possible. We wanted to ease the struggle for families which are already going through so much, and contributing to BC Children’s and the Ronald McDonald House would be a small step towards this."
