The Cathedral is open for everyone 7 days a week.  We rely on your generous support, as it costs over $3,000 a day to run our Cathedral ministries of pastoral care, social outreach, social justice, hospitality, worship and music in a heritage building.

Please be sure to identify yourself when you donate, in order to receive a tax receipt for your gift.

We are very grateful for your support!

We invite you to light a virtual candle by making a donation.

God doesn't want to coerce generosity. The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:6–8

There are many ways to make a continuing commitment to the Cathedral

Etransfers: Online or Bank App

Send etransfers from your account directly to the Cathedral's account.

Set up  as a new recipient.

No security question/answer is needed.

Bank example:

Please enter your name and what your donation is for (i.e: regular, spire, flowers) in the message box provided by the bank and/or follow up with an email to alert the  bookkeeper.

Doing so will ensure that your donation is recorded correctly for your tax receipt at the end of the year.

 

 

 

 

(Fees: etransfers - free for the Cathedral. Your bank may charge you $1 - $1.50 if e-transfers are not included in your plan at the bank.)

PAR: pre-authorized remittance

Set up monthly donations from your bank account

You can assign your monthly PAR donation to the Cathedral Operations Budget, and/or the Spire Campaign and/or PWRDF.

Complete the PAR authorization form and send to the Cathedral along with a VOID cheque. Or scan the form and  VOID cheque and email to the Treasurer.

The United Church of Canada offers the PAR service to all churches.

Tax receipts are issued by the Cathedral.

(Fees: The Cathedral pays $6 annually per PAR donor.)

Donation of Securities

If you own stocks or mutual funds, it is possible to make a donation by transferring shares. You benefit two ways:

  • You do not pay capital gains tax on securities donated to a non-profit organization such as the Cathedral.
  • You receive a tax receipt for the value of your securities on the date of their receipt.

Here is an information sheet with the details of making such a donation.

Zeffy: Online Giving

Zeffy is a "'made in Quebec" service that accepts credit cards, debit cards (with interac capabilities) and Apple Pay.

It is possible to set up a recurring monthly donation.

Make one or more donations throughout the year, and let the Cathedral issue you a single, cumulative tax receipt at year-end

Making an annual pledge

Cathedral members have many ways to express gratitude for the blessings God has given: in the liturgical life of the Cathedral, in their prayer life, in their social service and social justice activities for building up God's kingdom on earth, and in financial contributions for all the ministries of the Cathedral.

Regular, grateful giving back to God is part of Christian life. By pledging each year you allow us to budget responsibly.

Please speak to or email the Treasurer or the Bookkeeper if you have any questions.

Leaving a legacy

Christ Church Cathedral has touched your life. Thanks to you, its life will go on. 

Legacy giving, whether arranged as a gift through a will, a gift of securities, or by other means, is a powerful way for you to ensure the future life and witness of this historic, lively place. Your bequest can be a set amount, a percentage of your estate or specific assets. Gifts can support a ministry you care about or be directed where the Cathedral needs them most.

A gift during one's lifetime offers significant tax advantages.

Please contact the Treasurer if you would like to find out more.

Such gifts may be dedicated (given for a particular purpose) or left to the discretion of the Dean and Wardens.

Please contact the Treasurer if you would like to find out more.
