June Update
We love all our donors equally and unequivocally but we love our monthly donors more equally and unequivocally and that is just a fun way of saying that while we appreciate all our donors, our monthly donors are special.. Month after month their donations pop up and into our bank account and then on to a deserving charity. A sort of living circle of hope for people who have no idea about us until one day they get a cheque and lives are changed as a result.
We have a number of monthly donors who send us a small amount each month. That although small, is a huge amount to a small charity like ours and that is because we know it is coming and can plan accordingly. Of course the $500.00 donation is very sexy and is so much appreciated but we don’t know if we’ll get it next year and we can’t really factor that in for next year but we can work with the small regular donation.
If you are in the habit of scrambling at the end of the year to make your charitable donations. Consider giving each month to your favourite charity. Sign up monthly and forget about your donations. Tax receipts come automatically and your bank will have records. So simple yet so effective and the best part is that you will feel good about your charitable donations knowing that everyone benefits and all you have to do is decide how much to give.
Last month we mentioned that the Ontario Youth Summit would be held at Trent University in Peterborough. Well we got that wrong. This year it will be held in Muskoka at Camp Tawingo near Huntsville. As with everything the costs keep rising and this year we will sponsor 2 young people providing $1000.00 each towards their participation. Of course when we say we we mean you and the foundation.
We have mentioned this before but we think it is worth mentioning again. See the paragraph below on Fundscript. Basically you shop and the foundation gets paid a percentage. It is really simple. You sign up (use Code CM787Z), order a card for a grocery store for example and pay with the card the next time you grocery shop and the foundation will get a percentage.
Have nice June, hopefully the weather will get better but don’t forget we need the rain.
Jaunt away!
