The holiday season is upon us—a time to celebrate, reflect, and give back to the communities and causes we care about. At River Valley School, your charitable donations do more than support our students—they also provide meaningful tax benefits for you.
Did you know that giving to a registered charity like River Valley School is incentivized by both federal and provincial governments? When you make a donation, you’ll receive a tax receipt that can help reduce your overall tax burden.
Here’s how it works:
- A donation of $1,000 generates $389.72 in combined federal and provincial tax credits.
- A donation of $2,000 earns you $826.72 in tax credits.
Unlike tax deductions, which lower your taxable income, tax credits directly reduce the taxes you owe—or they’re refunded to you. It’s a win-win: your generosity supports the future of our students, and you benefit from significant savings.
Why Give Now?
With the end of the tax year fast approaching, December is the perfect time to make your contributions count for this year’s return. Your support helps enrich student experiences at River Valley School, while also giving you something to look forward to during tax season.
