In-Kind Donations

In Kind donations - how do you report them financially?

  1. A charity may issue an official donation receipt if a person provides a service to the charity, the charity pays for the service, and the person then returns the payment to the charity as a gift. In such circumstances, two transactions have taken place, the first being the provision of a service and the payment flowing therefrom, and the second being a gift proper.
  2. The parties should be advised to proceed by way of an exchange of cheques. This ensures the presence of an audit trail, as the donor must account for the taxable income that would be realized either as remuneration (in which case the charity may also be required to issue a T4 slip) or as business income.
 
Planned Giving:

To help the Canadian Paraplegic Association (Alberta) fund our continued mission to be an efficient and effective service provider, and we will ensure that the majority of our revenue is spent on providing services to those in need.

  • By making a planned gift you will enjoy significant tax benefits while making an important contribution to assist persons with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities to achieve independence, self-reliance and full community participation.
  • Your gift will become part of your overall financial and estate planning. Some planned gifts are deferred, which means that you commit now to a gift that the Canadian Paraplegic Association will receive in the future. Other gifts provide us with funds immediately.
