Honour a loved one through a donation to the C.A.W.E.S. in their name. 

This is an important tax saving opportunity as Capital Gains Tax has now been eliminated on the donation of appreciated securities to charities.   A charitable receipt will be issued for the value of the stock on the day the donation was made.

Property would either be used by the shelter or could be sold with all proceeds going to C.A.W.E.S.

The shelter has many needs and your donation of a gift in kind will help us to directly reduce our operating costs.  For a full list of the present and ongoing needs of the shelter please click here.

Your bequest to C.A.W.E.S. will be an important legacy gift for the future. This donation could be a gift of cash funds, stocks and securities or property.  Bequests will help to offset your taxes. 

Life Insurance

Donate a “paid up” policy to C.A.W.E.S. and receive a tax receipt for the cash “pay-out” value.  Name C.A.W.E.S. as the owner and beneficiary of a new policy and receive tax receipts for every premium you pay.

Donating retirement funds can create valuable tax savings to your estate.  A tax receipt is issued for the full market value of the plan.
