Types of Donations

By making a financial contribution, your generosity can help families affected by mental illness, assist them to better cope with their loved one’s illness, and give additional hope and support. You can make an outright or deferred gift to the MIND Foundation through many different methods.
Your gift(s) to the MIND Foundation can be made through:
-
General Donation

Donations that are given today are called outright gifts and can include: cash, cheque, credit card, gifts-in-kind, bonds, securities, asset properties, paid-up life insurance, annuity purchase proceeds. The choice is yours. -
Monthly Giving
Your gift can be made to the MIND Foundation in equal monthly installments through direct debit deposit or credit card. Since this is automatic, you don’t have to worry about making a cheque out to the MIND Foundation once per year. -
Planned Giving
Providing a planned gift through your insurance policy or planned giving vehicle can be very simple. This method ensures a legacy that will continue into the future. The MIND Foundation may be a named beneficiary in workplace insurance as well.

Give The Gift Of Stock!
If you have stock or shares that you would like to donate to the BC Schizophrenia Society or Mind Foundation, please contact the Provincial Office for more information.
-
Employee Funds
If you work for an organization with its own employee fund or United Way program, you can help the MIND Foundation by designating your donation. Workplace donations have made a real difference to BCSS programs and we are very grateful to all who participate.
Any form of gift making described above may be personalised further through:
-
In Honour Tributes
A unique and caring way to recognize a special occasion in the life of a friend, relative or colleague. The MIND Foundation will send a special “In Honour” card to your friend or relative in recognition of your gift. -
In Memoriam Gifts
Making a donation in memory of a loved one is a truly meaningful way to express your sympathy and respect to surviving family members and friends. The MIND Foundation will send an acknowledgement of your gift to the family of the person you are honouring.
