« The relationship between humans and dogs is so natural that even a person who feels lost inside can be led back to the path. » Éric St-Pierre

Donations in kind

Instead of monetary donations, some organizations prefer to offer their products, their services or their expertise. For example, a firm can choose to offer computer graphics services or consulting services, or products like office furniture. Donations in kind are non-monetary donations and are admissible for receipts for tax purposes. (Please consult the Canada Revenue Agency’s website to obtain more information on charitable donations.)

Implement a matching donations program

You can double the impact of your donation by implementing a matching donations program in which your employees can participate. You will demonstrate your interest in your employees by making a donation equivalent to theirs. Not only will your organization participate in an original donations program, it will also contribute to support a great cause.

Be a conference host

One of our conference speakers can visit you with one of our dogs. Most of our conferences can be adapted and take place in your work environment. A visit from one of our conference speakers is an excellent way for us to educate your employees about Mira’s mission. You can also plan a fundraising activity around the conference.

Fundraising teams

Setting up a kiosk to sell promotional items in heavy traffic areas is one of our ways of raising funds. By allowing us to install one of our fundraising teams in a space within your company, store or office building, you help us reach a larger group of people. Planned donations

A simpler way of giving is a planned donation. There are many different, sometimes unknown, ways to give without affecting your regular lifestyle or that of your loved ones. Donating this way allows you to show your support in a tangible way and benefit fiscally. In doing this your wish to help us add, as well as maintain, services offered by the Mira Foundation is satisfied.

A planned donation allows the donor to make a donation that will survive him/her. It is possible to give today for later, and to take immediate advantage of certain fiscal advantages. A planned donation can be one of several different ways.

A will donation

A will donation is a planned donation included in your last will and testament. It dictates your wish to donate to the Mira Foundation. There are many types of will donations. The bequest can be a sum of money, a percentage of the net value of your estate, a property or a piece of art, etc.

Life insurance donations

A life insurance donation is to change the beneficiary and owner of your life insurance policy to the Mira Foundation. It may be an old insurance policy that you no longer need or a new policy. This option has some interesting fiscal advantages.

Share donations

You may transfer your shares, mutual funds, bonds, and the like, to the Mira Foundation. Share Donations to public charities have great fiscal advantages since 2006; they are exempt of capital gains tax.

If you wish to make a planned donation, we recommend you consult your financial advisor to ensure a well thought out plan. Notaries, financial planners, fiscalists and accountants are the best consultants to help you plan your donation and help you take full advantage of all fiscal rebates.
