Donate to the Ladysmith Community Fund
Donations come in all sizes, and they all count. Together they continue to build our fund so that every year it can earn interest, which in turn supports local charities in the form of grants. Your donation, in effect, gives forever.
You can choose to make a one-time or recurring donation on the Ladysmith Community Fund page of the Nanaimo Foundation website. A charitable tax receipt will be issued by the Nanaimo Foundation. Cheques may be mailed to the Nanaimo Foundation office at 60 Wharf St., Nanaimo, BC, V9R 2X3 (please specify that the donation is for the Ladysmith Community Fund).
Looking to make an even greater impact? Consider our suggested Donor Categories, from Friends of the Fund to the Legacy Circle, there are many ways to ensure ongoing support for charitable activities in the Ladysmith area.
Corporate Giving
Does your company offer its employees the opportunity to make charitable gifts through payroll deductions? If so, we would be grateful if you would consider adding the Ladysmith Community Fund to the list of options.
We are also happy to accept donations from businesses who would like to give back to their community. Remember, your donation can reach many local charities through our grant program!
Legacy Giving
Donations may also be considered in the longer term. Consider leaving a bequest to the Ladysmith Community Fund in your will. Talk to an estate planning professional for advice on the best approach for you.
Donations to LCFS Operations
The Nanaimo Foundation, has also made it possible for donors to receive income tax receipts for donations in support of the operating costs of the Ladysmith Community Fund Society. If you wish to contribute in this way, it will have to be by physical cheque (until the online option becomes available).
The Ladysmith Community Fund Society is not a registered charity and cannot give income tax receipts. However, we do have expenses to cover: Insurance, web hosting, printing, membership in the Chamber of Commerce, and more. We welcome donations to the Society to help us cover those costs. Sponsorships and in-kind contributions are welcome. If you become a member of LCFS, your membership helps us defray costs, too.
We also encourage donors to continue to support their favourite charities directly. With donations for the short term and the long term, we can contribute to a strong and vibrant community.
