Birtle and
District Foundation
Mission Statement: To give our citizens an
opportunity to contribute and give back to their own
community.
The Birtle and District Foundation
is a Registered Charity which partners with local
agencies, charities and community organizations to
sponsor projects within the Town and RM of Birtle.
Possibilities are as diverse as our community and may
include Health, Youth, Recreational Facilities,
Educational and Cultural Programs, Fire Department,
Community Beautification, Food Bank and Christmas Cheer,
to name only a few.
Giving Options
Each donation
receives a charitable donation tax receipt for the value
of the donation.
There are many ways
that you can give. Each gift is special, and given with
thought and care. That is why we treasure every donation
that we get.
Your gift will
GIVE
back to the community each and every year because your
donation is invested and only the interest from these
investments is disbursed to worthy non-profit
organizations in the community.
The options for giving back to the community through the
Foundation are listed below:
· Gift
or pledge of money, investments or property
· Wills
and bequests:
Individuals may provide gifts to the Foundation in their
wills. A lawyer should be consulted when making a
bequest.
· Life
Insurance:
A contribution may be made through a gift of life
insurance naming the Birtle and District Foundation as a
beneficiary. An estate planner should be consulted.
· Tribute
or Memorial:
A gift may be made in honour of a living person,
organization, field of interest, or event or in memory
of a relative or friend. The Foundation will
acknowledge such gifts to the family or organization.
· Multi-Year
Pledge:
You may make an initial contribution and a commitment to
add to the initial donation over a period of years.
· Monthly
Contribution:
Through your financial institute using a Pre-Authorized
Transfer your set amount will be withdrawn
automatically. You can give $1/day or any amount you
wish.
