Financial Support
As we work to restore the Park, each year we apply for grants from government and from some corporations to enable us to purchase native species of trees and shrubs, pay salaries to summer staff, and maintain equipment. These grants are by no means assured.
We welcome and gratefully accept personal donations by cheque, through the CanadaHelps website or by using this QR Code.
Donate Securities
CanadaHelps makes it easy to donate securities, including stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, to Henteleff Park Foundation. To ensure your gift qualifies for a 2023 tax receipt, complete your mutual funds donation before December 8. All other securities donations should be completed before December 15 to allow time to process the securities transaction.
Benefits of Donating Securities
- Eliminate Capital Gains Taxes – When you donate securities directly to Henteleff Park Foundation, capital gains tax is eliminated, allowing you to donate more. IMPORTANT UPDATE: This is the last year that capital gains on donations will be tax-free! In 2024, 30 percent of the capital gain will be taxable and your donation tax credit will be cut in half.
- Instant Tax Receipts – You receive the charitable tax receipt for the market value on the date the security is received by Canada Helps broker.
