CHARITABLE DONATIONS

Did you know, there are four types of donations the Township of South Glengarry can issue a tax receipt for:

1. Cash If you donate cash to a South Glengarry project, the Township can issue a charitable receipt.

2. Service If you donate your service to the Township, a cheque exchange must occur. • You do the work • The Township pays you • You donate the money to the Township • The Township can issue you a charitable receipt

3. Non-Cash Gifts If you wish to have a charitable receipt issued for a non-cash gift, it must reflect the Fair Market Value (FMV). If the amount is less than $1,000, we’ll solicit a third party who is knowledgeable and qualified to determine the value. If the Township cannot determine the FMV, we cannot issue a receipt. FMV is the highest amount between informed, prudent, independent people in an open and unrestricted market between two willing participants.

4. Event When hosting an event where the proceeds go to the Township and the cost of running the event is 80% or less of the ticket value, the Township can issue a receipt. This is the most complicated type of donation and we encourage you to contact the municipal Treasurer. LOTTERY LICENCES

The Township issues Lottery Licences to eligible charities with a prize value under $50,000. Proceeds from lotteries must be used for a charitable, educational, or religious object or purpose in the Province of Ontario. Prior to the issuance of a licence, the applicant must:

• Submit proof of charitable status (first licence only); • Submit an Application Form; • Meet all Provincial terms and conditions, including financial reporting; • Provide any necessary documentation required by the

Licensing Officer; and • Pay lottery licence fee

Township staff review all Lottery Licence applications to determine specific eligibility. Please contact the Clerk at 613-347-1166 or by e-mail at clerk@southglengarry.com
