Ways to
Give
In most cases, current gifts are those provided by donors to help meet the immediate needs of Canterbury’s residents.
Planned (or deferred) gifts are most often larger in size than
outright gifts, are often made from the donors assets; they usually
require some planning by the donor and his/her financial or legal
advisors.
Canterbury Foundation
accepts charitable gifts
from the community in support of seniors’ housing
and care. Should you
wish to designate your gifts to a specific area we will honour
those wishes to the best of our ability. Undesignated gifts
will provide those enhancements or services that the Board
feels are most important for continued quality of care. Endowed
gifts will be invested
through the Canterbury Foundation
Gifts to Canterbury Foundation may take many forms and may include both outright (or current) and planned (or deferred/future) gifts. Outright gifts are generally available immediately for use by the Canterbury Foundation to fulfil the current needs of its residents. Planned gifts are often larger in nature, planned in consultation with the donor’s professional advisors and provide for the long-term stability of the Foundation.
Charitable tax receipts are issued for gift over $20 and in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency regulations. This allows donors to claim a charitable tax credit on their annual tax return. In Alberta, gifts to charities totalling over $250 in any given year can result in tax credits of 50% of the value of the gift.
