Vancouver Rape Relief Society is a Registered Canadian Charity 

Rape crisis centres in BC receive no operational funding from any level of government. The funds we do receive to operate our transition house from the Province do not cover all of the costs of running the shelter. We rely greatly on charitable donations to assist women and their children get to safety and to carry out our equality seeking prevention initiatives. 

 

MONTHLY DONATION

Pledge a set amount of money each month.Contributions can be directly withdrawn from your bank account; credit card or given as post dated cheques. All donations are tax deductable. A tax receipt will be issued in January of each year for the previous year's donations. To make a regular monthly donation, print this form. Use this online calculator to estimate your tax return.

LEAVE A LEGACY

  • Include Vancouver Rape Relief in your will
    When you include Vancouver Rape Relief as beneficiary     in your will, your estate receives a tax deduction on the final income tax return;

  • Name Vancouver Rape Relief as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
    You can receive Income Tax receipts for the premiums on the policy, or you     mayassign fully paid life insurance policies and receive a tax benefit. Your insurance advisor and/or financial advisor will be able to make and advise you on all aspects of the use of life insurance policies for charitable giving.

  • Establish a Trust Fund
    A trust fund would pay interest, generate a tax credit and eventually benefit Vancouver Rape Relief. When you establish a Living Trust (there are several ways to do this) and make Vancouver Rape Relief the residual beneficiary, you receive the interest on your money and also receive a significant tax benefit. Your financial advisor can assist you to make and assess the value of this type of donation.
