Donation FAQs
Kentro collects membership fees, why do you need donations?
While most of our operating funds do come from membership fees, contributions and registrations, we have made an effort to diversify our funding in the past few years for many reasons.
- Each year, at least one current and/or prospective member organization faces financial challenges. Donations help us offer subsidized memberships to organizations that made need a little help with their fees.
- Donations allow us to try new things and be innovative without risking the core of our income.
- Kentro has experience significant growth in the past 5 years. Donations help us strengthen our capacity to accommodate for that growth.
What does my donation support?
Each year there are at least a few current or prospective members that face financial challenges that makes it difficult for them to pay their full fee. Donations help support membership for those organizations. They also support innovative ideas and new programs, such as collaborative advocacy, affinity groups, and executive peer support groups.
Do I get a tax receipt?
Yes! Kentro Christian Network is registered with the CRA and you will receive a tax receipt shortly after you submit a donation if you use our online form. If you donate in any other way, you will receive a tax receipt during our regular receipt run or at your request.
What do you do with my information?
Our online donation form is secure and credit card information is not stored. Kentro collects and stores your first and last name, email address, and mailing address for tax receipting purposes. We will never sell your information. If you choose to make a donation, Kentro follows Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation’s (CASL) guidance on “implied consent” (see section 10(9) of CASL). You can choose to unsubscribe at any time.
Do you have Annual Reports & Audited Financial Statements?
We sure do! You can have a look at them here.
Who can I contact if I have a different question?
You can get in touch with Kentro by emailing admin@kentronetwork.ca – we are happy to respond to any other questions you might have.
