Tax Deductible Donations
As a registered amateur athletic association, the Canadian
Curling Association (CCA) will issue tax deductible receipts for
donations of $100 or more.
The CCA Board of Directors created a Curling Club Development Fund as a
means to assist member curling clubs and member associations. All
donations received will be placed in this fund for the future benefit
of curling clubs/member associations.
Payments of grants from the fund to curling clubs are done on a
quarterly basis. One hundred percent of all donations are placed in the
fund. The CCA does not keep any portion as an administrative fee.
The fund is distributed to affiliated clubs and member associations
based on their written applications for these funds. The Deer
Lodge Curling Club will provide to the CCA the necessary written
documentation that would qualify the club for receiving grants from the
CCA fund.
Donations should be in the form of a cheque/money order and be made
payable to the Canadian Curling Association.
To comply with CRA requirements the Canadian Curling Association can
not accept a donation that “tells” them that his/her donation is to be
sent to a specific curling club. However....., the cover letter
accompanying the cheque/money order should identify that the donor is a
member/associate or friend of the Deer Lodge Curling Club so that the
CCA can track the totals donated.
As long as Deer Lodge provides the proper application form to the CCA
requesting grant funds we should expect the appropriate grant
money to be forwarded to us from the donations accumulated.
Note : A copy of your cover letter should be dropped off or mailed to
the club to the attention of the Secretary so we may track what is
accumulating in the accounts at the CCA. You may wish to
add a note to our copy to indicate which project we should internally
allocate your contribution (or just proportionately to all special
projects).
Donations along with the cover letter should be sent to :
