Financial gifts to ensure the long-term viability of Knox Victoria and its ministry can be made in several ways:
Pew envelopes are available for visitors who wish to make an offering. Donations are tracked, and a tax receipt is issued at the year-end if we have a legible name and address.
Numbered envelopes are issued upon request for donations toward the day-to-day operation of Knox as well as spontaneous church activities and projects. Donations are tracked and a tax receipt is issued at the year-end to the envelope owner.
Automatic bank withdrawals help congregations to maintain a regular, dependable flow of contributions and provide church members with a convenient way of providing ongoing, faithful support for their church. The Pre-Authorized Remittance (PAR) program allows individuals to give to their congregation or the PCC through monthly automatic debit payments. Decide on an annual commitment and eliminate the need to track missing weeks or worry about holiday absences.
Interac e-transfer is now available. You can now use the Interac e-transfer system to make a donation or space use payment instead of writing a cheque. To make an Interac e-transfer, please use the email address tresknox@telus.net. Please specify whether you are making a donation or space use payment. For donations, please indicate where the you would like the funds to be used. If no information is given then the donation will be credited to Knox’s general funds. Tax receipts will be available early next year for donations over $20 but Knox needs the name and address of the donor. For space use payments, please specify the group and the date(s) of use. If you forget to include some information, please send the treasurer an email (tresknox@telus.net) to fill in the missing information since she cannot contact you as she won’t know your email address. If you have any questions, please contact the treasurer at the email address above.
Planned Gifts are an effective way to leave a legacy at Knox and often have significant tax benefits associated with them, which can lower the cost of the gift. Publicly traded securities, life insurance, life beneficiary gifts (RRSPs and RRIFs) and estate planning are just some of the available options. Talk to the Planned Giving office (click the above link for details), your financial adviser or search the Canada Revenue Agency website for more information.
