Christian Counselling Ottawa is a registered charitable organization (#10780 5806 RR0001). Approximately a third of our budget revenues come from donations, as most clients cannot pay the full cost of their counselling sessions. In order to ensure greater accessibility to our services, we use a sliding fee scale based on gross household income and number of people living on that income. But this system only covers about 2/3 of our costs. Donations allow us to serve more clients by making up the difference between revenues from fees and overall costs. Ways To Give: • Donate on-line through CanadaHelps.org. This can be used for a one-time donation or to set up a series of regular donations. Please note that the tax receipt is issued by Canada Helps, and that 3% of your donation will be used by Canada Helps for administration of the transaction. Christian Counselling Ottawa receives the donor name for donations made through Canada Helps. 
• Send a cheque by mail to: CCO, 151 Holland Avenue, Suite 200, Ottawa, ON K1Y 0Y2 • Designate donations made through the United Way as specifically intended for Christian Counselling Ottawa*. Simply indicate on the back of the United Way pledge form that your donation is designated to Christian Counselling Ottawa. You must include our charitable registration # (10780 5806 RR0001). Please note that the tax receipt will be issued by United Way, that 11-18% of the donation will be retained as an administrative fee by the United Way, and that CCO will not be aware of the donor's name. • Donate publicly listed shares. A direct transfer of the shares is made from your institution to CCO’s brokerage account, and a tax receipt is issued for the value of the shares at the close of the day of transfer. This form of donation is quite advantageous when the donor would face a capital gain if the shares were sold, as the current tax rules allow the donor to completely avoid capital gains on gifted shares. This is explained in detail at www.carters.ca. For further information regarding transfers to our brokerage account, please call the Internal Admin Director at ext. 227.
* Please note: CCO has a relocation fund set up for contributions to go toward the fit-up costs for transitioning our facilities to a new location. Your donation can be designated specifically to help us establish our new office when suitable facilities have been found. You can designate your donation to the relocation fund through each of the donation means listed above, except via the United Way.
