Thanks for your fast and complete answer. I apreciate it. Since I think that just donate money is not enough, I would like to participate actively by collecting money from my colleagues and friends but since it would be my first time collecting money for a good cause, I don't know from where to start. It would be cool if I can make receipts for them too for Income Tax Return if they donate 50$ or more. What are the procedures to follow so I can legally collect money and to which of your organisation should I send? MCCC, CDSC, OneChina or else?
Thank you

Hi, WuFei07, thanks for your question.
First, I think that you have got the receipt and write down your address, if that is the case, you will get a official donation certificate for Income Tax Return of year 2008. It will be mailed to you by MCCCC.
CDSC is the committee of Montreal Chinese Community. OneChina(us) is responsible for the street donation. For all the donation via us, we will be responsible for the donation certificate mail. Yours will be responsible by MCCCC, a key member of this committee.
But we are very glad to answer your questions. Yesterday CDSC collected around 20,000 dollars donations and the total donations have exceeded 250,000 dollars. Canada government will promise another 100% for this amount. your $110 will be part of this 250,000 dollars.
The total money will be deposited in the special account for China earthquake. And the final amount will written on the cheque, it will be written to" Chinese Red Cross" and may be transferred by China's Embassay of Ottawa. That is, the money will be withdrawn directly from the special account. However, some people advise CDSC not to donate to Chinese Red Cross, so they are discussing to make the final decision.
We will declare the total amount and where it will be sent once it is donated. Tracking report is possible for this big amount. You can check with us later if you don't have other way to know it.
Hope that you get it. |
