Hey Everyone,
Here’s a friendly reminder with what we hope is some helpful information about year-end giving to mission workers and projects through MSC Canada. There are three ways you can give before the end of the year to ensure you receive a tax receipt – by mailing a cheque or by giving online with your credit card or by e-transfer.
We advise you not to leave your giving until the last minute. Although we do not expect any technical issues over the holidays, unanticipated system problems can cause online services to not be available. As well, the e-transfer system places limits on the amount of donations we can process in a single day. The last two years, we hit that limit on Dec. 30th and 31st. This year, we have a significantly higher limit but it is still possible your e-transfer might not go through if we are overwhelmed with donations during the last couple of days of the year.
CHEQUE
To give a one-time donation by cheque, prepare a distribution list that details who should receive the funds and send the cheque (made payable to MSC Canada) and the list to us. Letters placed in mailboxes during the last week of December may not be processed by Canada Post until January. So, if you are sending a cheque, please have your envelope postmarked by taking it to the post office to be date stamped in order to ensure that your donation is dated 2020. The cheque must be dated December 31st or earlier and the envelope must be postmarked December 31st or earlier to receive a tax receipt for this year.
ONLINE
To give online with your credit card or PayPal account, head to our website msccanada.org and click on give. A 3% credit card fee is added to all online credit card donations to cover card processing fees. Online donations made before midnight on December 31st will receive a tax receipt for this year.
ETRANSFER
Please read our eTransfer info page for more information about giving this way.
