Did you know that you can donate stocks/equities directly to CanAssist?  Donors receive a tax receipt for the market value of the stock at the time of transfer and donation of the equity to a registered charity foregoes the necessity to pay capital gains.  Double savings for the donor and good for the charity as well. Read more about this option here. The process is simple and can be handled by  by emailing our treasurer Michael Dent here or by clicking on the Canada Helps Donate Securities link below.

We do our best to keep administration expenses to a minimum. Our main costs are postage, bank charges, exchange rates and internet fees. All of our Canadians work and travel at their own expense.  The majority of our money is spent in Africa.  This means that most of your donation will go directly to help these communities in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. A Financial Summary can be found on pages 10 and 11 of our 2021 Annual Report.

Thank you for including The CanAssist African Relief Trust in your charitable giving.
