Why Donate to the Foundation
	The Foundation provides a vehicle for interested donors to support specific charities, fields of interest, or the general welfare of our communities forever. A memorial tribute made to the Foundation not only honours the loved one but can support their causes annually. "Many individuals and families establish funds with a community foundation as a no cost and maintenance free alternative to a private foundation." Donations to the Shuswap Foundation are held in a permanent capital fund, the earnings on which support projects in the Shuswap in perpetuity. All donors are recognized in the reports and records of the Foundation unless they request anonymity. The Foundation manages its funds carefully, employing a conservative investment strategy. No administration fee is charged on the funds, ensuring that earnings are available to support donors’ interests. View our Investment Policy.

The advantages to using the on-line donation method are its convenience, and the fact that the written request to have the donation endowed in perpetuity is not necessary. The Canada Revenue Agency supports this method of making gifts to your community. Make an Online Donation.
