Donation and Payment

DONATION

To donate to Vancouver Sowers Society of Education (VSSE), you can send the money either:

  1. online using Interac e-Transfer (Canadian donors ONLY), PayPal or Credit Cards; or
  2. by mailing us a cheque; or
  3. by depositing to VSSE’s bank account

Interac e-Transfer is the preferred method as it is fast and requires less administration effort than PayPal, Credit Cards or cheques, and it’s provided free of charge by lots of banks. For donations using PayPal or Credit Cards (handled by PayPal), PayPal charges a fee which will be deducted from the amount that we receive.

Note:

  • Tax receipts will be issued for donations CAD 20 or more.
  • Please provide the purpose of your donation. If you do not specify, the donation will be considered as a general donation and VSSE will use it according to our priorities and needs.
  • Per CRA regulations, you MUST provide your full name and full physical address for us to issue you a tax receipt.
  • To simplify the tax issuing, please provide your email address so that we can email the tax receipt to you.
  • You can use our Donation Form to enter the donation details.
