Leave a Legacy

Did you know that there are tax benefits if you donate securities or investments or a portion of Estate to the Friends of the Helen Schuler Nature Society?

If you prefer, you can direct your donation through the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta

 

Donate Securities or Mutual Funds

Take advantage of the most most efficient way to give charitably! Since capital gains taxes don't apply, our charity receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your larger contribution. This allows you to give more and get more. You can arrange for transfer of securities using Canada Helps.

Endowment Fund

Contribute to our Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation - your donation will benefit our work in perpetuity! Each year we will receive a grant to help support our work in the community while growing the base “nest egg.”
