Donations
This page is for Donations only. To join or renew your membership with the Lighthouse Park Preservation Society, please click on the Membership button in the box to the left.
Lighthouse Park Preservation Society (LPPS) is a membership-based non-profit organization formed in 1998 to:
- protect the natural integrity of Lighthouse Park;
- promote public awareness of its natural features;
- and support the development of biological zones near the park boundaries.
LPPS is a registered charity. Our Charity Registration Number is 86804 8935 RR 0001. Formal Donation Receipts for income tax purposes will be issued for all donations.
We welcome donations online or by postal mail.
For online donations by credit card, please use the CanadaHelps button below. You will receive a tax-deductible receipt directly from CanadaHelps.
We can also accept donations of Securities through Canada Helps using a different link. https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/lighthouse-park-preservation-society/
There will be three choices: Donate Now, Donate Monthly, and Donate Securities. Click on Donate Securities and follow the directions. There will be a Letter of Direction template for you to download and forward to your broker. Your broker will send the securities to Canada Helps who will sell the shares and forward the proceeds to the LPPS. This is a wonderful way to support LPPS and enjoy tax savings at the same time. The benefit of donating shares is that no capital gains tax is incurred. An official tax receipt is issued for the full value of the securities.
