Ways to Donate
Your donation can be made monthly, as a tribute gift, or through planned giving.
During this otherwise uncertain time, your donations will help ensure that our clients continue to receive the essential services CHATS provides including, nourishing meals, drives to essential appointments such as dialysis, and the sound of a friendly voice during a check-in phone call.
Monthly donations help CHATS to plan services and programs more effectively, by providing a more consistent funding source. Additionally, monthly donations help us to lessen administrative costs as tax receipts are issued annually, thus reducing processing costs and postage.
Setting up a monthly donation allows you to reduce your own personal expenses by eliminating postage and cheque processing charges.
CHATS’ monthly donors automatically receive a copy of our Annual Report.
Many people choose to honour special occasions, loved ones, etc., with a donation in lieu of a gift.
Donations can be made to honour milestones (e.g. birthdays, retirements, anniversaries, etc.) or in memory of a loved one.
To recognize your tribute gift, CHATS will send a card acknowledging your donation to a recipient of your choice.
Planned gifts or ‘legacy’ gifts help CHATS long-term to sustain vital programs and services for our communities, while also offering you tax and/or estate planning benefits.
To inquire about planned giving options, please call 905.713.3373 x 6063 for more information.
