What is Giving Tuesday? Imagine a day dedicated to giving back, around the world, across Canada, and in your own community. It’s a global day of giving, a time to celebrate and encourage activities that support charities and non-profits.
​
Every act of generosity counts. We urge you to make a gift to the Slocan Valley Legacy Fund. This year we are especially excited, because we are so close to reaching our goal of having ½ million dollars in our fund! Thanks to some early Giving Tuesday donations, we are currently at just over $480,000. With your contribution, our goal of reaching $500,000 is actually in reach in 2025. Help us get there with your donation!
This year the best way to give is online - by e-transfer, credit card or PayPal.
For e-transfers, we ask that you send your donation to admin@ospreycommunityfoundation.ca . The Osprey Community Foundation in Nelson, our “parent” foundation, will receive your donation and provide your tax receipt. Please be sure to include your name and mailing address with your donation, as the CRA requires that information. Your receipt will arrive via email.
If you prefer to give using your credit card or PayPal, go to www.slocanvalleylegacy.com/donate .
Prefer to write a cheque? Feel free to come by and drop off your gift, and we will make sure it is deposited and your receipt sent. Please make your cheque payable to the Osprey Community Foundation with Slocan Valley Legacy Fund in the subject line. If none of those times work for you, give us a call at 250-226-7399, and we will do our best to make other arrangements.
Special thanks to our wonderful monthly donors – your ongoing support is so much appreciated! If you want to increase your gift, or make a special extra donation, that would be most welcome. If you want to join this dedicated group, just let us know and we will help you get set up.
Each contribution helps to build our fund, and that in turn helps to build the amount that we can give out as grants as the interest on our fund grows. In 2024 we were able to distribute $18,000, and we look forward to increasing that amount next year. For a complete list of all the wonderful projects we have funded, you can always click on the GRANTS page on our website.
Thanks in advance for your generosity. We appreciate your support.
Sincerely, the Board of the Slocan Valley Community Legacy Society
A donation for Giving Tuesday is a gift you can feel really good about!
