Nearly 50% of our operational funding relies on donations from generous individuals, foundations and corporations.

TAX RECEIPTS
While tax receipts are often prepared in 1 to 3 business days, during busier time periods the process can take 7 to 10 business days or more. If you have a question about your tax receipt, or wish to have a copy re-sent to you, please email info@haventoronto.ca.
​
To prepare a charitable tax receipt, the CRA requires a first and last name and a complete mailing address. Email addresses are not required but simplify processing a tax receipt.
​
Tax receipts are not issued for in-kind donations, i.e. new and used clothing, personal hygiene items, etc.
LEGACY / ESTATE GIVING
DONATING SECURITIES
When you make a gift of securities to Haven Toronto, you put stock in knowing you are supporting vital programs.
If you are an executor, personal representative, estate trustee, liquidator, trust officer, lawyer or individual transferring securities on behalf of an estate or trust, please contact us.
Why donate securities? Your gift of securities entitles you to a donation receipt for the full market value (resale) of your contribution.
​
Your gift will result in a non-refundable tax credit that will reduce your income taxes. You can use it in the year of your gift or carry it forward for up to five additional years.
You pay no capital gains tax on the appreciated value (increased price) of your securities. Donating securities directly to Haven Toronto avoids the tax on capital gains, maximizes the return on your investment and protects the tax credits for use against other taxable income.

LEAVING A GIFT IN YOUR WILL
Remembering Haven Toronto in your will is an act that is generous, powerful, and surprisingly simple. It allows you to leave a larger gift than would be possible during your lifetime, while still retaining control of your assets.
You can leave a piece of property, securities, cash, or even a percentage of your estate. Your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt that can lower or even eliminate estate taxes.
Leaving a gift to Haven Toronto in your will is simple. Talk it over with your family and loved ones, then speak to your lawyer about drafting or revisiting your will, or adding a codicil.
Be sure to inform us of your bequest and your wishes. It will give us the opportunity to thank you and, more importantly, to discuss what you hope your gift will help to accomplish. Of course, we will respect your privacy and confidentiality. Every gift in every will makes a difference.
