GivingTuesday has become one of the most important days for giving around the world. This year GivingTuesday is on Tuesday December 1 - you can help us to ensure the long-term health of quality environmental education in our community!
There are many ways to show your support of the Friends of Helen Schuler Nature Centre Society this GivingTuesday:
CanadaHelps will add $2 to one-time donations of $20 or more only on December 1st, up to a maximum of $30,000 for all participating charities. This is a great way to add a boost to your donation and show your support of our Nature Centre!
ATB Cares will match 15% of every dollar donated online, provide you with a tax receipt, and send us the money to support our mission! Some conditions apply. This is a great way to help us receive up to $5,000 of matching during ATB’s fiscal year.
PayPal has the option to ‘Give at Checkout’ - set us as your favourite charity, and every time you make an online purchase with PayPal, you’ll have the opportunity to donate $1 to benefit our cause. It’s an easy and convenient way to have a big impact.
A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes don't apply, our charity receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your larger contribution. This allows you to give more and get more.
Watch Avian Summer - this local film showcases the variety of birds that migrate to Southern Alberta each spring, where they come to find a mate and raise the next generation, before migrating again in the fall. All proceeds from the film support the Endowment Fund!
Join as a Friends member! Annual member fees are an important part of our revenue - allowing us to cover insurance costs and pay speaker fees. Your membership helps to sustain our society!
We understand that budgets are limited and there are many charitable requests at this time of year. However you choose to show your support – whether it is by making a charitable contribution, renewing your membership, sharing a testimonial, or visiting the Nature Centre – we appreciate your support!
Thank you for supporting our work in connecting our community to nature!!
