Year-end giving

As we head into these final weeks of the year, it’s a natural time for people to consider if they are in a position to make charitable donations. If you are thinking of doing so before the end of the year for a 2024 tax receipt, here are some of the most common ways you can do that:

CHEQUE - cheques, made payable to Waterloo Region Community Foundation (or WRCF) and a note in the memo indicating which fund you are donating to, can be mailed to: WRCF, Suite 200 - 2 King St W, Kitchener, ON, N2G 1A3 (envelope postmarked no later than Dec 31st).

ONLINE – online donations can be made here via Credit Card/PayPal/Apple Pay/Google Pay, and just select the specific fund you want to support from the alphabetized drop-down menu.
PHONE - credit card donations can be made over the phone (by December 19) by phoning Dan at 519-725-1806 x 205 or Mackenzie at 519-725-1806 x 207.
E-TRANSFER – if you want to make an e-transfer donation directly from your bank account, please email dan@wrcf.ca or mackenzie@wrcf.ca (by December 19) to get the necessary information.
SECURITIES – if you want to donate securities, click here to access our form. You’ll want to initiate the donation with your broker no later than December 9 to avoid any holiday processing delays.
If you require urgent assistance beyond December 20, please email dan@wrcf.ca.
