Greenhouse Update

We know the Greenhouse has been a valued space for our nonprofit partners, so are updating to share the unfortunate news that the space will be closing, effective January 15, 2024.

Deluxe has made the difficult decision to close our Vancouver iATS office, including the Greenhouse space. The Greenhouse has been as important to us as it has been to our nonprofit partners, and we are committed to continuing our efforts to forge even stronger bonds with the local nonprofit community.

The iATS Payments team is still intact and will continue to work hard to support our nonprofit clients and partners alike.

Thank you for bringing your community spirit and dedication to the space. We are all the better for it.

Awareness Day - International Environmental Education Day

Take a Hike Foundation empowers youth with intentional, continuous clinical counseling, outdoor experiential learning, and community. Their public school district partners provide high-quality education, and together, they empower youth with the skills and resilience they need to graduate high school, build healthy relationships, and achieve success - however, they define it. As we celebrate International Environmental Education Day on January we can't think of a better client or cause to highlight.
