THE WORK OF
FATHER LINDSAY
The Festival de Lanaudière Foundation was established to ensure the Festival’s long-term development. Gifts are added to the endowment fund, which ensures the continuation of the Festival for years to come. Each year the Foundation pays the Festival a percentage of the average market value of the investments from the two previous years. These amounts are allocated to the costs of inviting great international artists, supporting young musicians at the start of their careers, as well as to maintaining and developing community activities.

Simple procedure to donate stocks or securities
A charitable receipt is issued for the fair market value of your contribution. You get a non-refundable tax credit which will reduce your tax on taxable income. Use it for the year in which you made your donation or defer it for up to five years. You pay no tax on capital gains for the appreciation (increase in value) of your securities. By donating securities, donors pay no tax on capital gains which increases return on investment. It also protects your tax incentives, which you can use for other taxable income.
