Donations - Cash/In-kind:
GSPD is a registered Canadian charity. Cash or in-kind donations are eligible for an income tax receipt. To make a donation of any kind, please contact Jessica at (519) 836-1812 ex 21. 

Shoppers Optimum Points:
Donate your Optimum Points to GSPD online! Visit www.shoppersdrugmart.ca/donate to make a donation of points today. If you don't have an Optimum card, ask for one next time you visit a Shoppers Drug Mart. At the time of purchase, present your card to accumulate points.

The Funding Factory:
Please donate your empty ink cartridge and old cell phones to GSPD for recycling. GSPD is involved in a fundraising initiative with The Funding Factory. The Funding Factory accepts empty cartridges and old cell phones in return for cash. Be sure to collect these things from friends and family. Please bring them in to Jessica at GSPD.

Zehr's Receipt Tapes:
GSPD collects Zehr's receipt tapes as a fundraising effort, and Zehr's Market donates a percentage of the receipt totals to GSPD. Please save your tapes and pass them on to GSPD.

Memorial Giving:
Memorial giving is a wonderful way to pay respects for a loved one. A contribution can be made to GSPD in memory of an individual. Memorial giving is truly a lasting way to pay tribute. Most funeral homes in the Guelph area are familiar with GSPD and stock the materials needed. If not, the funeral home will contact GSPD for you to make arrangements.

Honour Giving:
Honour giving is another great way to donate to GSPD. Rather than giving gifts at special events, individuals can choose to make a donation to GSPD. This is a meaningful and appreciated method of gift giving. Please consider naming GSPD as the beneficiary of a significant occasion. 

* For either Memorial/Honour Giving, GSPD will provide acknowledgment cards. As contributions are received, GSPD will follow up with each donor, providing a thank you card as well as a tax receipt. *

Planned Giving:
This type of giving allows you to establish a long-range commitment without affecting present assets. Also, it is a wonderful way to ensure a contribution to a charity of your choice. Planned gifts qualify for an income tax receipt.

Bequests:
A bequest in a will is also a type of planned giving. Bequests have a significant favourable impact on the donor's final tax return. For more information or further giving options, contact a professional financial advisor. They can ensure your planned gift is tailored to your financial state and wishes.

GSPD greatly appreciates all types of donations from supporters. With your help, GSPD will continue to provide adults with physical disabilities services and supports.
