In addition, you may wish to establish a field of interest or named fund as a lasting contribution to future generation
for a cause you are passionate about. If that is the case please contact us.
As well, many donors elect to donate to the General Community Fund, which provides flexible funding for many worthwhile projects that do not fit into the specific field of interest criteria.
Please consult your professional advisor with respect to the tax advantages associated with your donation.
