The Reh-Fit Centre Foundation, created in 1999, raises funds to support and help advance the Reh-Fit¹s mission and also to further its aims, goals, and objectives.

The Foundation accepts a wide variety of gift types, whether they are in one¹s lifetime or are deferred.

Donations, Tributes and Bequests

A donation can be a meaningful way to honour the memory of a loved one, friend, or colleague. For a donation of $20 or more, we will send an acknowledgement on your behalf. Annual donations ensure that the funding is available for continually improving our facility, programs, and services.

If you are interested in making a donation, find out if your employer has a ³Matching Gifts Program² by talking to your Human Resources Department. If they do, they will match your donation to us as a current employee or retiree.

Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or more.

For more information about donations, tributes, and bequests, call the Reh-Fit Centre Foundation at 488-9325.

Other Gift Options

Other gift options include:

• publicly traded stocks, for which capital gains are tax free when the stocks are transferred to a registered charity and made as a charitable gift
• life insurance, where the Reh-Fit Foundation is named as the beneficiary of a current policy or with a new policy that is purchased with the Reh-Fit Foundation named as owner and beneficiary
• cash or what is called ³near cash,² where the source of funds may be from, for example, a GIC, a government bond, or proceeds from an RRSP or RRIF
• charitable gift in your will, which can be specified when you are conducting your estate planning.

If you would like to discuss any of these options, or if you have already made provisions for the Reh-Fit in your will and would like to talk to us about it, please contact the Director of Finance and Operations, at 488-5858. All information will be kept in the strictest confidence.
