Make a Donation
Individuals choosing to donate to the Sarnia Community Foundation can contribute in a number of ways.
The SCF is open to all gifts, large and small, and provides tax receipts for all gifts of greater than ten dollars. Donors have the option of making a one time, weekly, monthly or annual donation. The SCF is able to accept a wide variety of charitable instruments, including:
Outright gifts of cash, stock, real estate or other assets... all of which qualify for maximum tax advantage under the regulations established the Canada Revenue Agency. The SCF can process Visa, MasterCard and Amex donations through its office. The SCF is also registered with Canada Helps to provide donors the option of donating online. The receipt you receive will be from Canada Helps but the funds(less their service charge) will be directed to the Foundation. Clicking on the link at the side of the page will redirect to you to the Canada Helps site.
Gifts of securities receive preferential treatment when they are given to public foundations, like the Sarnia Community Foundation. The capital gains tax is eliminated on these gifts – a benefit that doesn't exist with private foundations. To learn more about this option please read the article entitled Donate for Tax Savings elsewhere on this site.
We work with donors to ensure that their charitable wishes are met while providing maximum tax advantage under Canada Revenue Agency regulations.
No gift is too small to make a difference in the community FOR EVER
Please call the Foundation office at 519 332 2588 to explore the option that will best suit your needs.
