Ways to give

Step 01: Choose your TYPE of giving

Donations in your will

You gift a capital sum to the Northland Community Foundation in your Will for a particular cause/fund and these funds will be invested so that your gift can keep on giving, forever.

Donations during your lifetime

Donations during your lifetime give you the benefit of seeing your gift at work and will qualify for a 33.3% tax credit. You can choose to invest these funds or deliver them out directly. The choice is yours.

Private charitable trusts

If you have a charitable trust – or you are thinking about setting one up – talk to us about how we can help with compliance requirements, future trustee succession planning and asset transfers.

For all types of giving we encourage donors setting up their fund to make a one-off donation of $5000 which goes towards the operating expenses of the Northland Community Foundation allowing us to continue the daily work of the Foundation. The donation will qualify for a 33.3% tax credit.

Step 02: Choose your WAY of giving

Donation

You can donate to any of the Foundation funds and choose for your donation to be invested or donated directly out to the particular service you are interested in.

Payroll giving

You can make your selected donation each payday and the qualifying tax credit is given at the time of the donation – not at the end of the tax year.

Giving circles

A way for a group of friends to pool financial resources and target your giving to a common interest or charity.
