IKEA Private Sponsors

Canada: This is not directly open to private sponsors of refugee families, according to Hamilton Spectator. Instead IKEA is inviting requests for support from "Canadian registered charitable organizations that have a mandate to support newcomers to Canada." Requests are to be made via an online form accessible from the IKEA Canada website . The donations are aimed at meeting basic home furnishing needs and cover a broad range of their product lines, including bed frames, mattresses, linens, cookware and tableware, appliances, lighting, dining room tables and chairs, children toys and books and living room seating.
