Exodus Global Alliance is recognized by the Canadian Federal Government as a charitable organization. This means that gifts to Exodus from donors in Canada are tax-deductible. We issue receipts for all gifts at the end of the year.

3) Credit Cards / On-line Donations — Credit card gifts and on-line donations can be made through CanadaHelps. CanadaHelps is a charitable organization that provides on-line donation services to all charities in Canada. To make a donation, click on the Donate Now image just below. This will open a new window to CanadaHelps.

4) Stocks — You can take advantage of current tax laws in Canada by gifting stocks to Exodus. The federal budget of May 2, 2006 announced the elimination of capital gains on donations of publicly traded securities, making it the most tax efficient means of making a charitable donation. You will be able to write-off the full amount of the stock at the time of the gift while Exodus can sell the shares without having to pay the capital gains tax on the shares. Therefore, Exodus receives the full benefit of your gift while you receive a tax write-off of the entire amount of your stock gift.

You can also donater gifts of securities through CanadaHelps. CanadaHelps will charge a 3% transaction fee. This fee covers all brokerage fees, transaction fees, banking costs, receipting, reconciliation, and disbursements incurred by CanadaHelps. The 3% is deducted based on the proceeds of the sale of securities you donated, before the donation is sent to the charity.

5) Wills — If you wish to name Exodus as a beneficiary in your will, please contact the Exodus office to obtain the information that you need to include in your will. If you choose to include Exodus in your will, please let us know so that we can thank you.

6) Matching Grants — Double your gift! Many employers in Canada will contribute to charities that their employees support. Exodus Global Alliance is a registered charity. Our registration number is 87349-1849-RR001. Check with the Human Resources department of your employer to see if they will match your gift.

7) Frequent Flyer Miles — Did you know you can give frequent flyer miles to a third party? With the amount of travel that we do, we spend a lot on airfare, so we would appreciate your gift of frequent flyer miles.

You may want to designate your gifts to a specific project or ministry. We invite you to consider the following designations that have been approved by the Exodus International Board:

Charitable giving in Canada is guided by government regulations. One key principle applied to all charitable giving is that when a donor designates a gift for a specific purpose, the organization must use it for that purpose or return the gift to donor. A second key principal is that donors must designate their gifts only to projects and ministries already approved by the responsible Board of the charitable organization. The designations listed above are approved by the appropriate board of Exodus.

If you are interested in supporting the work of specific Exodus people or learning about the special projects we are working on, please contact the Exodus Global Alliance office. We would be happy to apply your gift to the area of your particular interest.

If you do not specify a designation, your donations will be used on programs and projects that are approved by the International Board. Each contribution that is designated towards a board-approved program or project will be used as designated with the understanding that when the need for such a program or project has been met, or cannot be completed for any reason determined by the board, the remaining restricted contributions designated for such program or project will be used where needed most.
