Other Options
It is getting late in the year for donation of stock, shares, etc. There is some significant tax benefots to do so. These should be planned out with our tax team. You an also setup your own donor advised fund. There are typically donations that one would be considering in the 10,000 plus range. Please contact our office advisor@timothyross.com to discuss how this can be arranged.

In the meantime, here is great article to read up on it.
There is so many other worthy causes. Find one that means something to you and bless them this holiday season.
The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
Be Blessed this holiday season.

“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver. ...
“Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting. ...
“Giving does not only precede receiving; it is the reason for it. ...
“It's easier to take than to give. ...
“No one has ever become poor from giving.
“Don't Just"
Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
This is an interesting discovery, check it out. If your interested in public service or know someone that is.
Also, it's good time to pick up a donation credit if this is worthy of your support and you would like a tax deduction on your taxes.
" Liberty Coalition Canada formed the "Christians That Care" (CTC) initiative to help Christians get elected and ultimately influence laws to align with biblical principles.
In 2022, we had 110 Christian candidates from 4 different provinces sign up to get training from CTC for their 2022 municipal elections and 16 of them got elected! CTC candidates received a total of 146,173 votes! We also had 20 CTC candidates come in second place, and 9 CTC candidates came within 250 votes of winning!
In 2023, we plan to expand the "Christians That Care" (CTC) initiative and begin operations in 5 different provinces by hiring dedicated Project Managers, with goals to:
1) recruit 500 new Christian politicians across the country;
2) recruit 500 new Christian campaign managers;
3) recruit 250 youth to our “Youth With A Vision” Political Development Program
4) teach churches how to organize around a local Christian candidate;
5) develop a division that supports currently elected Christian politicians.
In order to reach these goals, WE NEED YOUR HELP! To contribute to LCC’s Advocacy Department, click HERE, select the "Donate to Other Designations" box, select the "Where can we designate your donations" drop-down menu, select "Advocacy," and fill in the rest.
For more specific information about any of these Advocacy items, to get involved individually or as a church, to discuss becoming a candidate, to sign up a youth to our development program or to get more specifics, contact mclark@libertycoalitioncanada.com

Charity & NFP Law Bulletin - No. 434
Terrance S. Carter B.A., LL.B., TEP, Trade-mark Agent and Ryan M. Prendergast B.A., LL.B.
On October 25, 2018, the Department of Finance Canada tabled in the House of Commons a Notice of Ways and Means Motion, which contained a number of amendments to the Income Tax Act ("ITA") and other legislation to implement certain provisions previously announced in Budget 2018 and other measures, including amendments to the ITA to modify the rules governing political activities (now referred to as "public policy dialogue and development activities") by charities in Canada. The proposed amendments were introduced as Bill C-86, Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2, ("Bill C-86"), which received first reading on October 29, 2018, and is included as an appendix to this Charity & NFP Law Bulletin for ease of reference. Bill C-86 significantly improves upon the draft legislation released on September 14, 2018 by the Department of Finance Canada ("September Draft Legislation"), discussed in last month's Charity & NFP Law Bulletin No. 428
