Gifts In Kind
Donate services, goods or property to Variety – the Children’s Charity and help us help kids in BC.
Donating Gifts in Kind to Variety
The most common gifts in kind we receive are financial securities such as stocks or mutual funds or property. These donations enable the donor to avoid paying capital gains tax on an asset.
We have also partnered with “Donate a Car” to provide supporters with a platform to donate vehicles. Find out more here.
If you have an asset that you are considering donating, we can help! Contact Sara Khanifar for more information.
We Accept Gifts in Kind from Organizations Too!
Variety hosts several events throughout the year where we can auction products or services. Our supporters love to bid on travel experiences, spa days, wine packages, gift baskets, and more. By donating items like these, you are introducing your product to our donors and helping Variety kids across BC.
We would love to hear more about what products or services you can contribute to our fundraising efforts!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why support Variety BC?
Variety has been providing direct support to children with disabilities and complex health needs. For over 55 years, Variety has ensured children have the support to reach their potential. Since 2010, Variety has distributed more than $40 million in funding to families and organizations in communities all across the province. When you support Variety, you’re not only transforming the lives of kids in your community but their families as well.
What other types of gifts can I leave to Variety?
By choosing to leave a gift of assets other than cash, you could save capital gains and estate taxes, and therefore make a bigger impact than you previously thought possible. Examples of other types of gifts you can leave are stocks and securities, life insurance, RRSPs or RRIFs, Annuities and more. For more information email [email protected].
I have already made a gift to Variety. Why should I sign up as a monthly donor?
First, we would like to thank you for your previous support. Contributing monthly helps to lower administration costs as you’ll receive one tax receipt at the beginning of each calendar year and it makes your bookkeeping easier when it comes to tax time. In addition, monthly donations provide a predictable source of income that Variety can depend on every month. It means that you enable us to make firm commitments to our Variety families so they can count on us to receive ongoing support. Monthly giving is a great way to provide ongoing support to BC’s kids
