We are grateful for all donations and depend on them to balance our budget.
Support for our General Fund helps nurture our spirit-led faith community through events and programming, keeps our meetinghouse running, and lets us make donations to other charities (like the Canadian Yearly Meeting and Canadian Friends Service Committee) and local initiatives. This year we aspire to raise approximately $55,000 for our General Fund.
We also take donations directly to our Refugee Fund, the Ibbotson Fund for Quaker education, and our Accessibility Renovations Fund.
How to Donate
We accept one-time and recurring donations. Indicate the desired fund in the message of your e-transfer or memo line of your cheque. A charitable receipt for tax purposes will be sent to you early in the new year following your contribution, so please make sure that the Assistant Treasurer has your full name and address.
E-transfer
Send your donation to [email protected]. If your bank insists on a question and answer, let the Assistant Treasurer know what the answer is. If asked for a name during the e-transfer process, enter RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.
Cheques
Write a cheque made out to Ottawa Monthly Meeting and put in in the Assistant Treasurer’s mailbox, or mail to the meetinghouse. To donate monthly, write a series of post-dated cheques.
