Why Donate to the Foundation

Create an enduring gift in perpetuity

The Foundation is unique in the Shuswap—it is the only charity serving the area that maintains all donations in a permanent capital fund.

The permanent capital fund is carefully and conservatively managed in accordance with the Foundation’s investment policy. Income from the capital fund is used to support worthwhile charitable community projects.

Did you know that in the 10 years we've been making grants, the Foundation has returned $300,000 to the community? Despite currently low yields on conservative instruments, thanks to careful financial management, the Foundation will again be able to pay out 5% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.

Efficient and cost effective

By using the Community Foundation your client can avoid the complexities and expenses involved in establishing a private trust or private foundation to carry out his or her charitable intentions.

Tax advantages

Shuswap Community Foundation is a registered charity with Canada Revenue Agency (BN 88783 6468 RR0001). All donations are promptly acknowledged with an official receipt for income tax purposes. We can accommodate donors wishing to make regular direct donations from their credit union or bank account.

Flexibility
