Lever Your Donation 4:1 to PLAN Calgary

This remarkable 4:1 leverage of your after-tax donation comes from two Alberta Government programs.

The Alberta Government's Community Spirit Program turns a $1 after-tax donation into $4 for RAS. It consists of two parts.

The Enhanced Charitable Tax Credit increases the Alberta portion of the personal charitable income tax credit so that the total tax credit for personal donations over $200 is 50%. That means that giving $200 to RAS only costs you $100 after the $100 personal tax credit on your Alberta and Canada income tax.

The Alberta Community Spirit Donation Grant Program matches up to $25,000 per year of personal donations to a charity like RAS on a dollar for dollar basis. Thus, the $200 received by RAS becomes up to $400 when matched by Alberta. That is incredible donation leverage for Albertans and Alberta charities.

Note that the Community Spirit Program program applies to personal donations, but does not apply to corporate donations or grants.
