Tax receipts for a minimum $20 donation or a membership are issued in the name of the Northumberland Land Trust which was registered as a Charitable Organization on September 11, 2003 with the registration number 89257 5930 RR0001.

Some of our supporters are turning their appreciated stocks, bonds and mutual fund units into gifts for the Northumberland Land Trust. A tax incentive introduced in the 2006 Federal Budget exempts donor individuals from capital gains taxes, making this the least expensive way to give. In addition, donors of securities will receive a tax receipt for tax purposes for the full market value of the shares at the date of the transfer. Please contact us if you wish to take advantage of this tax break.

PAY OR RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP BY MAIL or ONLINE

Please complete our membership form and make your cheque payable to Northumberland Land Trust. Mail to: Northumberland Land Trust, P.O. Box 1153, Cobourg ON, K9A 5A4

The Land Trust cannot live on land alone. Cash donations will be welcome and will be essential to ensure that the Land Trust can complete the transactions and manage the lands that are donated.

You will receive a charitable receipt for your donation which can be used to claim a tax deduction.

Land and easement donations can be processed through the federal Ecogift program, which is administered by Environment Canada.

Created in 1995, the Ecogift program provides added tax incentives to landowners wanting to protect their ecologically sensitive lands.

The 2006 budget changes allow for significant tax benefits.

Key points when making an Ecogift:

• The land must be certified by the Minister of the Environment as ecologically sensitive.
• The appraised value of the gift must be reviewed and approved by a panel on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment.
• Once the land’s value is certified by Environment Canada and approved, it is “defended” by the Ministry of the Environment if questioned by the Canada Revenue Agency.
• Any modification must be approved ahead of time by Environment Canada.

For more information, please visit the Ecogift website.

Our volunteers are one of our greatest assets at the Northumberland Land Trust. We wouldn’t be able to do nearly the amount of work we do annually without their help.

If you would like to volunteer for a specific event, see our Blog & Events Page, or simply complete and submit this form below and someone will be in contact with you about how you can help.
