Monthly Donations - Become A Sustaining Supporter

Becoming a Sustaining Supporter is a convenient and affordable way to invest in the health of your community.  Donating monthly allows you to budget your contribution and make a significant donation over the course of the year.  Monthly donations reduce overhead costs for the Foundation which means more of your donated dollar goes directly to the cause.

You can become a Sustaining Supporter of the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation for as little as $10 per month.  As a Sustaining Supporter you receive a recognition pin and framed certificate acknowledging your committment.  

You can make a monthly donation through direct withdrawal from your chequing account (electronic fund transfer) or with your VISA or Master Card.   Please click here to print a Sustaining Supporter donation form. 

Gifts in Kind

Gifts-in-kind are items and services that the Foundation may use to operate or to develop funds. These items may include real property, goods (including equipment for PGRH or other healthcare providers) or services. Tax receipts are issued for the fair market value of the goods or real property. Services are not receiptable, under Canada Revenue Agency law.  If you are interested in making a donation please contact the Foundation to discuss different options.

Life Insurance

The Foundation is pleased to accept the donation of Life Insurance policies and welcomes the donation of new or exsisting policies. Both donations qualify for tax receipts and may allow the donors to make a more substantial donation than they thought possible.  Please see the Life Insurance section in Planned Giving.

Trusts

Donations through the use of "Trusts" have been increasing. In these situations specific plans are developed to have assets placed in trusts to benefit the donor and spouses, while they are alive and the residual (or remainder) is donated to the Foundation. There are specific tax and income advantages for the donor. Please seek professional financial advice if you are interested in establishing a trust for the Foundation.

Securities/Property

Most securities can be donated and in fact publically traded securities (stocks) receive special Capital Gain tax treatment if donated directly to the Foundation. (See Planned Giving section).

Any real property may also be donated. This could include real estate, commercial property, cultural goods, private collections (art, artifacts etc.) or personal goods. For additional information see the Securities/Property section or call the Foundation.

Wills and Bequests

Donors may choose to leave a bequest in their Will for the Foundation. This may include real property, residual value of RSP’s, RIF’s, or a specific portion of the estate’s value. This donation may be directed to a specific area of the Foundation’s work. Details can be found in the Wills and Bequests section.
