SUPPORT US
The sustainability of the scholarship and bursary program is dependent on individual donations and corporate sponsorships.
Donations are tax-deductible, and donors may direct their contributions to various bursaries or scholarships, or to wherever the need is greatest.
To donate by cheque, please mail your cheque payable to “CIP/ICU Planning Student Trust Fund” to:
CIP/ICU Planning Student Trust Fund
141 Laurier Ave West, Suite 401
Ottawa ON K1P 5J3
Please note which fund (scholarship or bursary) you wish to donate to in the memo line.
ONE-TIME DONATIONS
Make a one-time donation by credit card through CanadaHelps. Charitable tax receipts are issued and emailed immediately by CanadaHelps.
MONTHLY DONATIONS
Enroll as a monthly donor through CanadaHelps. Monthly donors provide CIP-PSTF with a steady and predictable source of income. Donors will automatically receive a charitable tax receipt from CanadaHelps after the start of a new year
OTHER WAYS TO DONATE
GIFTS-IN-KIND
Gifts-in-kind are donations of property other than cash. They can include donations of land, buildings, marketable securities, equipment, furniture, vehicles, promotional items, and raffle and auction prizes.
To make a gift-in-kind donation, please contact us.
SECURITIES
A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes don't apply, you can give more and get more. You receive the charitable tax receipt for the full market value of the security upon completion of the sale.
Learn more about donating securities to CIP/ICU Planning Student Trust Fund through CanadaHelps.org here.
PLANNED GIVING
There are many options for making a legacy gift to support students and the future of the planning profession. These include gifts of life insurance, property, RRSPs and RRIFs, securities, and bequests.
With any planned giving, the donor should consult with a financial planner to determine the course of action that best reflects the goals of the donor.
BECOME A SPONSOR
CIP-PSTF is always interested in establishing new scholarships and bursaries.
