What is the difference between Sponsorship and Gift in Kind? When would an income tax receipt be issued?

Sponsorship is when a company provides funding and receives a benefit in return, such as public profile for its corporate citizenship (i.e. as sponsor of a major foundation event). In this case, an income tax receipt is not issued. Gift in Kind is when a company donates either property or services and does not receive a benefit from the donation. In this case, an income tax receipt would be issued.

How can I make a donation to TREWO?

You can donate in many ways: through your participation in fundraising events, in memory of someone, through planned giving, and the many other means of contributing which help us fight the disability and death caused by disease. Contact the TREWO website for more information.

I would like to learn more about volunteering. Who do I contact?

TREWO is a volunteer-driven organization. Volunteers help us fulfill our mission by participating at every level of our activities.
