Donations

Supporters of the CDC leave a tremendous legacy; with timely early intervention services, the CDC often facilitates dramatic improvements in the quality of the lives, health outcomes, and future opportunities of the children we serve.  Each year, we make a difference in the lives of over 1000 children.  Chances are that we have greatly benefited someone that you care about.

If you would like to help us help our region’s children, please consider making either a current donation or a future contribution through a planned gift.  Your support will directly assist children in your community.  You can also be assured that the CDC will utilize your gift to great effect; for additional information regarding our philosophy of service, resource allocations, and future aspirations, please see our Mission page.

We gratefully accept donations of all sizes.  We issue tax receipts for any donations of $20 or more.

Donations can be provided in many ways, such as the following:

Legacy Gifts:

Legacy Gifts, also known as planned giving, often form part of an individual's estate planning process. These gifts provide you with the opportunity to make a meaningful and very positive change in the lives of the region's children.
There are a number of reasons people make planned gifts: Here is some information on the CDC that you may need for your planned gift:
Charitable Bequests
Due to its relative simplicity, most planned gifts are made through charitable bequests, forming part of the donor’s last will and testament.

Gifting Securities or Capital Assets
Do you have any assets that are subject to capital gains taxes?  Gifting these securities to a registered charity such as the CDC ensures that the full value of the gift is realized.

Gifting of RRSPs and RRIFs
RRSPs and RRIFs can be subject to substantial taxation upon the death of their holder.  Gifting these plans to a registered charity such as the CDC ensures that the full value of the gift is realized.  For this reason, funds in retirement plans are often utilized first for planned giving

Beyond this, there are many differing options to consider.  Here is a document that includes additional options that you may wish to consider.  Feel free to contact Darrell Roze, the CDC’s Executive Director at (250)563-7168 Local 207 or email to email to discuss the CDC regarding any questions you may have regarding supporting the Centre..
