A Fitting Memorial
There may be someone special you’d like to remember ? a friend or a relative who is no longer living. You can give special recognition to those loved ones with a gift in their honour to the BCNF. Call the British Columbia Neurofibromatosis Foundation at 1-800-385-BCNF (2263) and we will mail a card to the family of the person you want to honour, telling them a gift has been made in their name, but not mentioning the amount you’ve pledged.
Leave a Legacy
A gift made to the BCNF through your will is a meaningful opportunity for you to participate in charitable and community activities in a way that allows the work of this organization to be well supported now and long after you are gone. Surprisingly, such a gift can also be a very practical addition to a financial or estate plan when tax issues are taken into consideration - even for those who don’t think they have tax issues. Your gift can be a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. For more information, contact the BCNF, or speak to your financial advisor.
Double Your Giving
When you make your gift to the BCNF, check with your employer to see if your company has a “matching gifts” program. This is where the company will donate the same amount their employees contribute to their favourite charities. If they do have such a program, request the specialized form and fill it out according to the guidelines.
Organize a Third Party Fundraising Event
You can assist the BCNF in its mission to improve the lives of people living with Neurofibromatosis by hosting a fundraising event in support of the BC Neurofibromatosis Foundation research, education and patient support programs. You can also call us toll free at 1-800-385-BCNF (2263) or direct (250) 743-2678 to make a donation using a credit card, or to discuss a gift.
