Canadian Power Squadrons Foundation
There are Four Ways to Donate to The CPS Foundation
1. The CPS Foundation Honour Roll
2. The CPS Foundation Memorial Log
3. General Donations to the Foundation
4. Affinity Pin Program
The CPS Foundation Honour Roll
The Honour Roll is the Foundation's main source of income.
The 100% Honour Roll Challenge
The Squadrons that give $1.00 for each member per year, receive a Merit Certificate and are registered on the Honour Roll. For the Districts, their names are entered on the Honour Roll when they donate $1.00 for all of their members within the District per year.
The GOLD Honour Roll Challenge
To participate in the Foundation’s GOLD Challenge, a donation of $10.00 for each Squadron Member or $10.00 for each District Member is required. Several Squadrons and Districts have risen to this challenge and are showing in a very positive, tangible way, their contribution to the success of CPS-ECP.
Please note: Because Income Tax receipts are not issued for Honour Roll Donations, 100% of your donation enters and stays forever in our Capital Account.
The CPS Foundation Memorial Log
The Memorial Log has existed since the Foundation's inception and enshrines the names of Squadron Members and others who have been memorialized over many, many years.
The log can also be used to recognize a significant event such as:
- A Squadron's or District's significant anniversary
- A CPS-ECP Member achieving their Life Membership
- Or the marking of another significant event
In the case of a deceased member, the memorial is acknowledged to the donor(s) and the bereaved family is suitably informed. A numbered receipt will be issued for each donation of $25.00 or more. The charitable receipt issued to individuals can be used in calculating the charitable donations credit for income tax purposes.
