Q. Are all donations tax-deductible?
A. The Foundation's policy is to systematically issue a tax receipt for donations of $ 20 and over. A receipt can be issued, on request, for donations of under $ 20.


Q. When will I receive a tax receipt?
A. Normally, we will send you your tax receipt four to six weeks after your donation has been recorded. If you are a donor who makes monthly donations, by means of preauthorised credit card or cheque payments, you will receive a single tax receipt for the total annual amount of your donations around January 31. It may take a bit longer during the general public campaign because of the volume of transactions.


Q.What are donations to the Foundation used for?
A. Donations are used to fund the three main areas of need of the Père Sablon charity, namely:

support for disadvantaged young people and programs, infrastructure renovation and maintenance and equipment replacement.


Q. Can requests for financial aid be submitted to the Foundation?
A. No, requests for financial aid for involvement in the activity programs must be presented directly to the Centre Père Sablon in Montreal or to Le P’tit Bonheur in the Laurentides. The relevant information can be found on their respective websites.


Q. Does the Père Sablon Foundation support other causes?
A. No, all the donations received by the Foundation are used exclusively for Père Sablon's work to ensure continuity and sustainability.
