We highly appreciate every donation, whether big or small and that can be in cash or in kind. A donation of $20.00 or more to VTEA is tax deductible. You will receive an acknowledgement and an official tax receipt.
Recent Kind Acts
VTEA is blessed with a large number of generous supporters and friends. Here is a roll of honour of some recent kind acts.
We try to make sure that donating to VTEA is easy and convenient by offering several different methods:
The most cost effective is that you can mail your cash donation directly to VTEA. Please make your cheque out to Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association and mail it to: Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association
Box 1324, Aldergrove, BC V4W 2V1
You can make a donation by credit card to VTEA online through the CanadaHelps.org website. CanadaHelps.org is a non-profit organization that makes secure online giving convenient for donors and Canadian charities. VTEA will receive your full donation (less the usual credit card processing fee) and you will receive a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of your donation from CanadaHelps.org.
If you can donate materials or supplies to help us expand our facilities or provide better services to our special needs children, then this can be accounted for as a 'Gift in Kind'. This may be more cost effective for you and is particularly useful for VTEA. Please contact the Office by email or by telephone ( 604-857-1267 ).
Technically you are not able to gift services to VTEA as the CRA website explains. However the same web page does explain how this can be done in a two-step process. If you as the service provider invoice VTEA, then VTEA will pay that invoice. You then can donate all or part of what you receive in payment and a tax receipt will be issued for the amount of cash you have donated.
You can remember VTEA in your will and make a bequest. Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association is now a partner in the Leave A Legacy program. Click here for more details.
There are other ways you can make donations to VTEA. For example, you could decide to donate a small amount every month for a period of months and receive a single tax receipt for the total payments.. It is important to do this in a way that gives the best tax advantage since such donations are encouraged by the tax authorities. You can explore some of the issues involved in a blog post, Charitable Tax Receipts And Kindness.
