When you donate to the Friends of the Golden & District Hospital,
Canada Helps will issue to you a charitable donation tax receipt
for the full amount of the donation. You can print the tax receipt directly from the
donation
page or retrieved at a later date. The tax receipt can also be emailed to
you.
Some charities charge a large administration fee reducing the amount
available to the cause however, Canada Helps only takes a small
administration fee of 3% and transfers
the funds to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) where it is
segregated into an account specifically for the Friends of the Golden
and
District Hospital. The EKFH takes about 5% as an administration fee when
equipment is purchased, so for every dollar donated approximately 92
cents is
available to the hospital for the purchase of equipment. A very efficient way for you to support our community hospital!
Your tax credit will vary depending on your level of donation. For a donation of $500 from a BC resident, the tax credit is approximately $171.22 which will reduce your income tax payable.
