Ways of Giving Today
There are many ways for individuals or organizations to provide a gift to support the children, youth, individuals and families touched by mental health issues. A brief description of each is found below, however, please contact our staff at (admin@cmhagrb.on.ca) if you wish further information about any of these options.
One Time Gift
Make a donation and give hope to individuals and their families who experience mental health issues. Direct cash contributions provide an immediate benefit and are a simple way to support the important programs and services of the Canadian Mental Health Association Grand River Branch. Such gifts may be made for general operating support or earmarked toward a specific program or project. You will receive an official tax receipt confirming your gift for donations of $10.00 and over.
Pledged Gift
It is very helpful when we know that we can count on your support. Rather than a one-time gift, we would be delighted if you would make a commitment to give us a donation on a regular basis. We are happy to accept your monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annual gift for whatever period of time you choose. A pledged gift helps us to better plan what programs and services we are able to fund.
Special Occasion
Make a donation in honour of someone special in recognition of special occasions, such as a specific holiday, a wedding, anniversary, birthday, retirement or barmitzvah. The Canadian Mental Health Association will send a card to that person to acknowledge your thoughtfulness.
Memorial Gift
Make a donation to the Canadian Mental Health Association Grand River Branch in memory of a family member, friend or colleague.
Corporate Support
Corporations are aware of the challenges our community continues to face in securing additional funding to develop new and needed services. Aligning your business with the Canadian Mental Health Association Grand River Branch will boost your corporate profile, help build your reputation for corporate and social responsibility and, most importantly, help the thousands of people who turn to CMHA for support. An investment today through a donation or pledge can result in considerable savings for our community tomorrow.
Employee Giving and/or Matching Gift Program
If your company allows for payroll deduction, please consider the Canadian Mental Health Association Grand River Branch as your charity of choice. If you work for a company with a matching gift program, you may be able to double or even triple your contribution at no extra cost to yourself. Contact your company's human resources department for information on matching gifts.
Endowment Giving
Good stewardship of our resources is a healthy way to ensure that program we care about today will be available for tomorrow. To demonstrate a depth of commitment to the future of an organization, a planned gift will make a very real contribution to the wellness of future generations. There are many ways to make a planned gift: bequests, life insurance, charitable gift annuities, reminder trusts and gifts of real estate, stocks, bonds and securities.
