Donations & monthly giving

Recurring monthly gifts or one time donations can be set up through our charity partner at CanadaHelps.  Click here to start the process.

In memory Of (IMO) & Tribute donations

In lieu of flowers at a funeral a donor can choose to make a charitable donation to L&A Interval House in memory of a loved one. 

Stock Donations

Donors can choose to transfer publicly traded shares from their investment firm.  A tax receipt will be issued to the Donor for the FMV of the shares at the time of transfer.  This option provides great benefit to the Donor as it avoids capital gains and allows the Donor to give more to their charity of choice. Donate here.

Planned giving (Life Insurance, Bequests)

Gifts of life insurance can take several formats.  Donors can name L&A Interval House as the beneficiary of an insurance policy or transfer the ownership of the policy to Interval House while continuing to pay the premiums.  Benefits are multifaceted: tax receipt to the estate, after ownership of policy is transferred the Donor will receive income tax receipts for premiums paid, eligible for tax receipt for FMV of the policy, income tax relief experience for the Donor in real time and the charity can expect a generous gift in the future. 

A Donor can choose to make a bequest in their will for a specific amount, percentage of the estate or detailed item. 

A Donor can choose to name L&A Interval House as beneficiary of their RRSP or RRIF and their estate will receive a tax receipt to off set any tax owing.
