Ways to Give

Legacy Gifts – Planned Giving

  • Planned giving is a powerful act of kindness that helps sustain the future of all the programs and services at the Northern Rockies Child Development Association. A planned gift does not impact your finances today and offers tax benefits now and in the future.

Matching Gift Program

  • Your employer may have a matching gift program. Their programs can double or even triple your gift to us. Ask your Human Resources department if such a program exists. If not, encourage them to contact us!

Workplace Campaigns

  • Many corporations in British Columbia have organized workplace campaigns, and funds raised go to charitable organizations. Please consider designating the Northern Rockies Child Development Association as the recipient in your workplace campaign.

Donation in Memory, Honour

  • You may wish to honour the memory of a loved one through a gift. To make your Gift in Memory, please write in dedication to whom you want to honour.

Bequests

  • Make a gift to us in your will for a specific sum of money, property, or a percentage of your estate's assets.

Special Event Fundraising

  • Special Event fundraising offers you an opportunity to add community value to an event you have already planned. Connect with the Executive Director at (250) 774-2596.

In-Kind Gifts

  • Please contact us at (250) 774-2596 to understand what we can accept and use at this time. If you wish to contribute gifts of equipment, products, or materials, these gifts will be utilized and appreciated. To ensure you receive proper acknowledgement for your gift, please include a sales receipt, appraisal form, or other third-party evaluation with your gift.

Your gift will help to build an inclusive community in which all children and families have the support they need to grow, participate, and thrive.
