How to Give

The Sheep River Health Trust is a registered charitable organization dedicated to raising funds to support and enhance health care in our community.  Our charitable registration number is 14066 3758 RR0001.  We issue charitable tax receipts for all donations over $15.00.

Benefits of Donating to the Sheep River Health Trust

• The non-refundable charitable tax credit may be deducted from your income tax, to reduce taxes you may owe. The “after-tax cost of your donation” is the amount of your donation minus the maximum charitable tax credit (50%)
• The maximum charitable tax credit (for donations over $200) is 50%. It is a combination of the federal tax credit (29%) and Alberta charitable tax credit (21%)
• The first $200 of donations is eligible for a lesser (25%) charitable tax credit.
• The charitable tax credit may be claimed for donations of up to 75 per cent of your net income in the year, and may be carried forward for the next five years. This limit increases to 100 per cent of net income in the year of death and the preceding tax year.
• Your donation may be affected by other factors such as donation limits, timing and nature of the gifted asset. Consult a professional advisor or visit http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/chrts/dnrs/ for more information.
