CREDIT UNION FOUNDATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
Donors Information

Donations are made for many reasons . . . in lieu of flowers, in honour of credit union pioneers, in memory of loved ones, in recognition of volunteer work, as a bequest, or leaving a legacy for future generations.  Whatever the reason, you can be assured that the recipients of the awards generated from these donations are very appreciative of the tangible support they receive. Over a hundred bursaries are provided annually to post secondary students throughout BC.

Indicate to which Memorial or Trust fund you wish the donation be credited. All donations will be credited to the Credit Union Pioneers Memorial Trust unless the donor indicates a specific trust. Please refer to the Memorials & Trusts section of the website for a full listing of the existing trusts.

The Credit Union Foundation of BC is a registered charity with Revenue Canada.  Tax receipts are issued for all donations so please include your full address.  If the donation is a gift in lieu of flowers, the name and address of the next of kin should be provided so that an acknowledgement card can be sent to the bereaved.

To Establish a New Memorial or Trust Fund:
All Memorials and Trusts are held in perpetuity.  Only the interest earned is disbursed.  Receipts are issued for income tax purposes.

A minimum amount of $10,000 is required to establish a Fund. The principal amount should be significant enough to generate earnings that will provide for a reasonable award annually.  Donations to establish a memorial or trust may be made in total or arrangements can be made to make several donations over a 3 year time period which would accumulate to meet the required minimum.  If you are interested in having a representative provide you with further information, please write to the Foundation at the above noted address or phone 604-294-9399 or email cufoundation@shaw.ca.
