If you’d like to donate over the phone, or would like to request a physical card to be sent to your loved one.

Matching Gift

Double the impact of your donation today by asking your company to match your generous gift. Please contact your company’s Human Resources team to see if your company matches employee contributions. Many forms require that the charity’s mailing address and charitable registration number be included.

Gift of Securities

Favorable tax rules regarding the donation of shares to a registered charity make this option particularly attractive for many donors. When shares are donated to the Farm Safe Foundation, a charitable receipt is issued for the fair market value of the gift. Shares include stocks, bonds, bills, warrants and mutual funds. We recommend that you speak with your tax advisor, accountant, or financial planner before considering a gift of shares. The FarmSafe Foundation can provide you with a Gift of Securities form so you can easily transfer the shares you wish to gift.

Legacy or Planned Gift

Leaving a financial legacy or planned gift is a way to create sustainable financial support for a charitable organization. It is a means of making a gift that maximizes the tax and estate planning benefits to the donor. It is also a reflective process that takes time, careful thought, and above all, provides meaningful outcomes.

Legacy giving can usually be established without affecting current financial circumstances and often involves the use of financial or legal instruments such as wills, life insurance policies, endowments, and trusts. They may also include immediate gifts of cash, property, listed securities, and other types of assets.
