If you are community-minded, the Surrey Foundation is the ideal vehicle for your charitable giving. The Foundation invests 100% of donations to the ongoing support and development of local initiatives, including health and social services, education, the arts, the environment, and economic development projects. And it all stays in Surrey.

Donations are pooled into a continually growing, permanent endowment fund and only earnings generated through the investment capital are distributed as grants. Because the Surrey Foundation manages an endowment fund, donations made are:

• Flexible: You can contribute to the Foundation and let us decide where to allocate your funds, or you can designate which area of interest or which specific organization you’d like your donation to help.
• Lasting: Because it’s a permanent endowment fund, donors can be confident that their gift will continue to give for many years to come — forever, in fact.
• Charitable receipt: We issue charitable tax receipts for contributions more than $20.
• Hassle-free: It’s very simple to give. Just go right to our How to Give page.

In a nutshell, donating to the Surrey Foundation:

• Is a terrific way to give back to your local community
• Allows you to maximize your tax benefits
• Assures the ongoing sound management and stewardship of your donation
• Offers you the flexibility to contribute in a number of different ways
• Gives you the opportunity to help build a legacy for the future.
