How to donate
- • Cheques made out to L’Arche Toronto
- • Visa or Mastercard (We use a third party Internet service to process gifts on credit card)
- • Make a tribute gift in honour of a Birthday, Anniversary or in memory of someone.
- • Annual pledges
- • Planned Giving
- • Shares of a Public Company - Donate shares of a public company and you get a tax receipt for the fair market value when you make the transfer, but you don’t pay capital gains tax
- • Spousal Trust -You can leave a trust in your will that provides for income from the capital to go to a spouse and upon his/ her death, the capital goes to the charity. When the surviving spouse dies, her estate gets a tax receipt in the year of death to offset capital gains otherwise due on the death of a spouse. The provision for making the donation to a charity must be granted by the original will creating the spousal trust. The name of the charity and amount of the gift must be specified or a formula for calculating the amount of such a gift must be defined in the trust established under the will. Do it to commemorate the life of your loved one – a core member of L’Arche
- • Specific Purpose Fund - Make a donation to create a fund for a special purpose to be administered by L’Arche Toronto, eg. To fund programs not funded by government and which enhance the quality of life of our core members.
- • General Purpose Fund - Make a donation to create a fund for a more general purpose and to commemorate the life of some individual family member.
- • Securities – No capital gains tax- no capital gain has to be included in income. The stock donations still receive the same tax credits based on the value of the stock donated.
