    Give in U.S. dollars

    To make a gift and receive a tax receipt in U.S. dollars, please see Winnipeg Foundation USA

    The Winnipeg Foundation can receive gifts from United States donors and issue appropriate receipts for US income tax requirements.

    In 2007, The Winnipeg Foundation created a non-profit organization in the United States for charitable purposes called Winnipeg Foundation USA. Gifts made to this organization will be transferred to The Winnipeg Foundation.

    The corporation is registered in the State of Minnesota and is exempt from federal income tax under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Corporation is deemed a “Supporting Organization” for the sole purpose of supporting the charitable purpose of the Winnipeg Foundation under section 509 (a) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. A Supporting Organization operates as a “public charity” under the IRS code and as a result, contributions to the Corporation are tax deductible.

    As Winnipeg Foundation USA is a Supporting Organization to The Winnipeg Foundation, it is not permitted to grant to US organizations.

    If you are interested in making a gift from a US address to The Winnipeg Foundation, please make
    your cheque payable as follows and provide details about the name of the fund your gift is to be directed to:

    Winnipeg Foundation USA
    1350 One Lombard Place
    Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
    R3B 0X3

    Gifts of securities may be received when:
    • We have verified the broker can accept the securities.
    • We also request the donor understand the securities, for tax purposes, are valued on date received in the Winnipeg Foundation USA brokerage account.

    At this time we are unable to accept US credit card donations. On average, the time to process the gift and issue a tax receipt is approximately 3-4 weeks. Fees may apply, and it is best to contact us for further information.

    If you have any questions, please contact us at twfusa@wpgfdn.org or call our toll-free number: 1.877.974.3631.
