Donate now!

Thank you to everyone who voted on our name!  We have collectively chosen:

Crandlemire-Keenleyside Family Legacy Fund

There are two ways to donate:

Online:
You can click on the Canada Helps button on the top right hands side of this blog. Once you click on the button, you'll see two options (Donate Now or Donate Monthly).  After you make your selection you will have to fill out some basic information and select our fund from the drop down menu.  You will receive a tax receipt via e-mail, and Canada Helps direct deposits your donation into our fund. Donating this way saves on administration costs for donations under $250.00.


Cheque:
If you prefer to write a cheque, please make it payable to the Golden and District Community Foundation, put Crandlemire-Keenleyside Family Legacy fund in the memo line, and mail it to the Foundation at Box 1485, Golden, B.C. V0A 1H0.  Alternatively you can give your cheque to me or Jessie and will will deposit it on your behalf.  You will receive a tax receipt via mail if you donate by cheque.

Then please feel free to send Jessie an e-mail, FB message, comment on this post, or call her with the amount of your donation, so we can keep the tracking bar up to date.  If you prefer to keep the amount you donated anonymous, that is just fine.  I will receive monthly statements that bundle all donations together so we can reconcile our tracking bars.

Please note that a few people have asked if they can make a donation and have the tax receipt go to grandpa as part of his birthday present, unfortunately this is not an option.  The tax receipt must be issued to the giver of the donation.

  1. It would be cool if we could set up a web page directly for the fund, with a donate button that goes directly to the appropriate page, with no need to mess with check boxes or anything like that.

  2. Not sure what you mean - there are no check boxes.....

  3. I meant the drop-down box where you have to select which fund to donate to.
