Donate
You can donate online or by cheque to ARDFC’s current project, an emergency relief project, or ARDFC’s general fund.
Donating online
You can donate by clicking on the CanadaHelps “Donate Now” icon below. CanadaHelps is a secure website specifically designed for making charitable donations. It allows you to specify how you wish to designate your gift. If you donate through CanadaHelps , you will receive your receipt for income tax purposes directly from CanadaHelps via email.
Gifts in Kind
ARDFC welcomes gifts in kind, such as stocks or shares. There may be a benefit to you the donor based on Fair Market Valuation vs purchase price. Send us a note and we would welcome your inquiry.
Donating by cheque
You can also donate by sending a cheque to:
Anglican Relief and Development Fund Canada
c/o Box 1013
Burlington, ON, L7R 4L8.
Please clearly write on the memo line how you wish to designate your gift – for the ARDFC’s current project, a specific emergency relief project, or ARDFC’s general fund. If you donate by sending a cheque to the ARDFC, you will receive your receipt for income tax purposes after the end of the calendar year.
Designated giving
All gifts are used as designated. However, in the unlikely event that a project or relief effort becomes over-funded, your gift will be applied to another similar need.
US residents
For tax efficiency, residents of the United States may prefer to donate through our sister agency in the US – The Anglican Relief and Development Fund.
Our commitment to good stewardship
We strive to ensurethat at least 85 per cent of donations go directly to development projects in the Global South. 15 per cent of donations is used for administration. And, in fact, much of this administration expense goes toward ensuring good stewardship – researching the viability of projects before committing to them and then evaluating the effectiveness of those we undertake. This is only possible because ARDFC is managed by a “working board” and has no paid staff.
