Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Q: What can I donate other than money?
A: Many items are able to be donated! See the list below:

  • Securities, such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds (CRA gives an extra benefit for donations of investments… you get a receipt for the Fair Market Value on the donation date and you can exclude the capital gain on your tax return)

  • Land, buildings or equipment

  • Items from the inventory of a business

  • House, cottage or any other real property

  • Life insurance policy

  • Jewellery, stamps or coins

  • Prints, etchings, drawings, paintings, sculptures, or other similar works of art

  • RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan), RRIF (Registered Retirement Income Fund) or TFSA (Tax Free Savings Account)

  • Donations made through a will (a special benefit is available as the estate can claim the charitable tax credit in the year of death with any unused portion available to carry back to the previous tax year of the deceased)

Q: Is my donation tax deductible? Will I get a tax receipt, and when?

A:​ Yes, now that we are a registered charity, your donation is tax deductible. Donations made by December 31st will qualify for federal and provincial tax rebates. Amounts vary by province. HRAA issues tax receipts for donations of $20 or more. You will receive your tax receipt by email, on or before February 1st of the following year.

Q: How much of a tax credit will I get for donating?
A: For the 1st $199 donation, your tax credit value is 24.7%, however, your tax credit increases to 47% for every $1 you donate over the 1st $199.
