There are numerous ways to make your sacrificial gift to the Family of Faith campaign:
Outright Gifts
Outright contributions of cash or cheques are the most direct way to support the campaign.
Pledges
Pledges to the campaign can be paid over a period of three to five years. Most donors make their pledge via credit card, debit or post-dated cheques.
Gifts of Life Insurance
A gift of insurance could cost less than a dollar a day after tax. Policy and premiums can be structured to fit easily into any budget and are fully tax deductible. The Development Office has a list of insurance professionals to assist.
Three Ways to Make A Gift of Insurance
If you want a tax receipt now:
If you want a tax receipt later:
If you want to provide a gift of an existing policy you no longer need:
Securities
When you make a gift of appreciated securities from a recognized stock exchange, you will not have to pay any capital gains tax if you transfer the securities directly from your account to the Archdiocese of Toronto’s account. This can offer a greater tax advantage than if you were to make a gift of cash.
Gifts of securities can include:
Gifts-In-Kind
The campaign can receive a range of nonmonetary gifts, commonly referred to as "gifts-in-kind."
Examples include: real estate, artwork, antiques, rare books of art, special equipment and other tangible personal property.
Canada Revenue Agency advises a receipt for the fair market value of the gift, not the appraised value, may be provided. Each gift is unique and must be handled on a case by case basis.
Annuities
There are two main types of Charitable Gift Annuities. The Family of Faith campaign can offer "re-insured annuities." The Development Office maintains a list of professional advisors who can assist you in the purchase of an annuity.
Bequests
You can leave a bequest to the Family of Faith campaign in your Will.
The proper legal wording for a bequest to the campaign is:
Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation for the Diocese of Toronto, in Canada for the benefit of The Family of Faith Capital Campaign (to be credited to the parish campaign goal of __________ Parish located at ____________________).
The Development Office has a list of lawyers across the archdiocese if you are in need of one to assist in the preparation of your Will.

Matching Gifts: Increase the Impact of Your Gift
Your contribution to the Family of Faith campaign through your parish may be doubled or tripled, if your employer has a matching gift program. Some employers will even match gifts made by retirees and spouses of employees. Many employers, including those listed below may have programs that will match your gift to the Family of Faith campaign. Every employer's program will have its own particular requirements. Why not ask your employer if they have a matching gift program?
If your employer has a matching gift program, please complete the employer's matching gift form (typically available via the employer's Human Resources Department), complete it, and send with your pledge card to the Family of Faith campaign office. Your parish will receive credit for both your gift, and the employer's match!
