Over the past two years, people have given in lesser charity amount by about $1-billion. This means a drastic decline in philanthropy and social services. This was apparently reported by Statistics Canada. Add to this the sad fact that the average age of people doing charity is going up wards as well.
While even lesser people are seeking tax deductions in order to do charity. None the less, there are things on may consider to simply rejuvenate his or her charity giving.
Text-to-give is done by texting a message using your mobile phones. It has a person texting the message to the address or a short code of the charity of his preference. This way one may donate small sums of about five dollars or ten dollars.
To cite an example, one may type the keyword “meal” and text it to 45678 from his cell phone. This will see a sum of $10 directly going to the Ottawa Mission Foundation. The amount would be later on taken from his cell phone’s monthly bills. Mobile devices help on in doing lots of charity with better flexibility. Add to this the fact that it hardly takes any effort from a person to do charity in such a manner.
The non-profit charitable organization CanadaHelps.org also has one do his charity easily. One may simply browse through the website and look at the various charities and narrow down upon a charity of his choice. The sum may be donated through Paypal, Credit cards or even online debt pay.
None the less, here one ought to be a member of Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montrea, Toronto-Dominion Bank or Bank of Nova Scotia. Another added advantage is that if one does charity by using the medium of Canadahelps, he may also get a tax receipt from the website in the form of an e-mail. Printing this receipt would mean lesser tax paying.
As for people who donate more than $200 per year may enjoy even added benefits as far as tax deductions are concerned. The more amounts you donate the higher credit you get.
