DONATING TO NELSON COMMUNITY SERVICES

Your donation allows us to reach so many more families, individuals, and youth and offer them real life-enhancing (and sometimes lifesaving) supports.

We are a registered charity under the federal Charities Act. All donations and bequests will be formally acknowledged in writing to the donor, and all donations over $20.00 will be offered a tax receipt.

WHEN MAKING A DONATION, YOU CAN SPECIFY WHICH FUND YOU WISH TO SUPPORT:

CLIENT SUPPORT FUND

This fund will be used to assist clients to participate in counselling, outreach, and support programs and will provide help with basic needs and items that will improve their overall well-being.

NELSON STREET OUTREACH

The Street Outreach Team supports some of our most vulnerable citizens. Donation funds provide operational and programming assistance as well as emergency supplies.

CICADA PLACE FUND

Youth coming to Cicada Place often have very few resources to support their transition to living independently. There are times when some youth struggle to obtain the basic necessities of life. Monetary donations made to Cicada Place can make an impactful difference.

AIMEE BEAULIEU TRANSITION HOUSE FUND

This Fund will be used to support women and their dependent children accessing services from Aimee Beaulieu Transition House Program and to assist with their emergency needs.

Leaving a Legacy…

is very simple, as simple as planning to make a gift. Planned gifts are generally funded from accumulated resources or assets, rather than income.
The most common Planned Gift received by the NCS is a Bequest.
The tax benefit from a Bequest accrues to the donor’s estate.

You can designate your Legacy Gift to our three noted funds that encompass all the various
programs and expenses of Nelson Community Services — the possibilities are abundant and rich with the excitement of giving!

A COMMUNITY “THANK YOU”

The 2020 holiday season was made very special for many individuals and families thanks to the amazing generosity of the people of our community. The staff and Board of Nelson Community Services (NCS) wish to express their sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the many groups and individuals who donated cash, gifts, and food hampers throughout the month of December.

These gifts went directly to our children and families programs, our Cicada Place Youth Program, our Street Outreach Program, and our Aimee Beaulieu Transition House Program. The care and thought put into handmade items, the carefully selected gifts and toys, the overflowing baskets and hampers, plus the incredible amount of gift cards and money all went to families, youth, seniors, and children in our area who, without your donations, would not have had much of a holiday celebration at all.

Throughout the year, NCS provides a range of counselling, support, outreach, and housing support services primarily through funding contracts with the provincial government. These funds cover the basics of our service provision, but this year we were able to add that extra sparkle to many people’s lives because of your generosity. Know that your gestures – no matter how big or small – mean the world to someone. May your hearts be full and your year ahead be filled with the happiness of sharing and giving. Thank you so much!
