Charitable Donation (Tax) Receipts
A charitable donation (tax) receipt is given to people who make a personal donation to a registered charity. The donation must be made directly to Hospice Muskoka (i.e. writing their cheques out to Hospice Muskoka) and without personal return.
Things including, but not limited to sponsorship, admission tickets, raffle tickets or silent auction purchases are not eligible for a tax receipt. All qualifying cash donations of $20.00 or more are eligible for receipts. Donations “in-kind” (an item or service) may not be receipt-able.
Tax receipts cannot be processed by Hospice Muskoka unless the event organizer remits the funds. Processing tax receipts can take 4-6 weeks after the donation has been received through our administrative office. To properly process a tax receipt we require that all necessary information is provided three weeks following the event
We require the following information regarding the donations following the event:
1. Donor’s name
2. Donor’s address (including postal code)
3. Donor's Email
4. Donor’s telephone number
5. Amount of donation
6. The actual donation (cash/cheque) and/or full credit card details in secured envelope if Hospice Muskoka is to process transaction
Hospice Muskoka prohibits any of our third party fundraisers from telemarketing and/or conducting door-to-door solicitations. Any event proposals using these methods will not be approved or supported. Hospice Muskoka reserves the right to choose not to affiliate with any event where fundraising does not support the mission, vision and values of Hospice Muskoka.
