Ways to Give
Together, we can build stronger communities.
Here are the ways you can make a difference:
At TNO - The Neighbourhood Organization, we strengthen quality of life through services, engagement, partnerships, and advocacy. Your generosity supports programming for children, youth, families, and seniors, and newcomers.
Make an immediate impact with a one-time gift. Your donation supports youth programs, employment services, newcomer settlement support, food security initiatives, and integrated health and social services. You can support an area of greatest need or direct your gift to a specific program.
Join our Nourish Neighbours Now monthly giving program. Recurring donations provide stable, predictable funding that allows us to plan long-term programs and respond quickly when our community needs us most.
Monthly donors receive benefits including:
Early access to tickets and special discounts
Invitations to exclusive events for monthly donors

Why Consider a Planned Gift?
When you include TNO in your estate plans, you create lasting change that extends far beyond your lifetime.
Planned giving allows you to make a transformational gift that might not be possible during your lifetime, while also providing potential tax benefits for you and your estate.
Ways to Leave a Legacy - Bequests in Your Will
The most common and flexible form of planned giving. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other bequests have been fulfilled. Your gift can be directed to a specific program or used where the need is greatest.
Name TNO as a beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy. You can donate a paid-up policy you no longer need, or maintain ownership and name TNO as a beneficiary to receive the proceeds upon your death.
RRSPs and RRIFs
Designate TNO as a beneficiary of your registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) or registered retirement income fund (RRIF). This can reduce the tax burden on your estate while supporting our shared mission.
Planned gifts can provide significant tax advantages:
Gifts made through your will reduce taxes on your final estate
Donations of life insurance, RRSPs, and RRIFs can eliminate capital gains and income taxes
You may be able to claim charitable tax credits that reduce taxes owed
We recommend consulting with your financial or legal advisor to understand the specific benefits for your situation before making any type of planned gift.
