Ways To Give

Philanthropy is driven by giving. By anyone of any age. By any amount. By giving now or leaving a gift for the future. The Port Coquitlam Community Foundation can show you the many options and advantages of giving to your community.

Your donations help ensure the long-term well-being of your community. Contributions to the PoCo Foundation are prudently invested, generating ongoing income to support local needs.

All donations to Port Coquitlam Community Foundation will receive an official donation tax receipt.

You can give confidently and easily in a number of ways, including:

A gift can be made online with your credit card. Monthly giving is one of the most convenient ways you can give and is easy to set up. You can cancel at any time and you will receive a charitable receipt for your annual donation.

Monthly giving is simple and convenient – donations are automatically charged to your credit card, and you’ll receive one tax receipt for the full amount of all the donations at the start of the new year. It’s an easy way to make a lasting impact all year long, without feeling the strain of a one-time gift. To get started, visit our online donation page and select monthly instead of a one-time donation.

With payroll giving, donations are automatically deducted from your paycheque, making it easy to give consistently all year long. Your total contributions appear on your T4 slip, eliminating the need for separate tax receipts.

Investing in corporate social responsibility (CSR) strengthens workplace culture and retention. Employees involved in corporate giving programs remain with their companies 75% longer, and employers can maximize impact through matching contributions.

If your workplace doesn’t offer a charitable payroll program, reach out to learn how easy it is to get started info@pocofoundation.com or 778.617.2111.

You can donate to the PoCo Foundation just by recycling your containers: it’s a quick and easy way to support your community. By using the Express Kiosk at your nearest Return-It location and skipping the general line,  you’ll be making a difference with all proceeds benefiting the PoCo Foundation.

A gift of life insurance can be a significant future gift at a very affordable present cost. You may not be able to make a significant contribution now, but it is a great way to leverage future tax benefits to make a larger gift than you ever thought possible.

Donors may name the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation as the owner or beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy. Tax receipts are given for either the cash surrender value of an existing policy, or for premiums paid. This is one of the most popular “planned giving” vehicles. Because there are several options available, please talk to your professional advisor for help in making this gift.
