WHAT CAN YOU DONATE & HOW CAN IT BENEFIT YOU TOO?         

 

Since your donation to the Community Fund will typically go into one of our Endowment Funds, it will keep being given back year after year!!

 

CASH - Such as actual cash, cheques, e-transfer, Canada Help, and Paypal Giving​. Donations over $20.00 get a Tax Receipt.

 

MONTHLY DONATIONS - Setting up a monthly donation is easy!! It multiplies your impact, is easier on your budget, & has a greater impact on our Foundation to support the Community!

​

BEQUEST/ESTATE PANNING - Bequests are gifts made as part of a will or trust to a charity. It is often known as Legacy Giving.

​

Other types of Donations

 

SECURITIES - Such as Stocks, Bonds, etc. > With a donation of securities or mutual funds, capital gains tax does not apply, allowing you to give more and avoid paying capital gains taxes. You get a Tax Receipt for the original current market value at donation time.​  Contact us to discuss donating securities @ info@drdcf.ca

 

PROPERTY - The principal tax advantage is that your estate can be tax-free if you donate an amount equal to all the tax owed to one or more charities. You may prefer your money going to a charity rather than into the government's coffers. Contact us to discuss donating securities @ info@drdcf.ca

 

ART - Donations of art offset the taxes on up to 100% of your income. These donations would also not be subject to capital gains. Contact us to discuss donating securities @ info@drdcf.ca

 

INSURANCE - Donating a life insurance policy isn't subject to taxes, probate costs, or estate debts, & you can make a substantial contribution through relatively small monthly or yearly payments. At the same time, you'll be rewarded for your donation through charitable tax receipts. Contact us to discuss donating securities @ info@drdcf.ca

FUNDRAISING  Another way to support the Deep River and District Community Foundation (DRDCF or Foundation) is by planning and/or sponsoring an event to raise funds for the Foundation. This kind of activity is called a "Third Party" Fundraiser. In raising money for DRDCF or designating that money to a more focused fund within DRDCF, you or your group can help support the many great charitable and nonprofit activities in our community.
