Giving to LaHave Coastal

LaHave Coastal is a nonprofit charity registered with the CRA, so it can provide tax-deductible receipts for your donations. All donations are applied to LaHave Coastal’s charitable purposes, which are all for the benefit of the public:

  1. To protect the environment for the benefit of the public by conserving or restoring ecosystems and

    biodiversity on a long-term basis; and

  2. To advance education by providing programs on best practices for environmental stewardship, habitat

    restoration, and biodiversity planning.

To donate money, you can:

  • Use your credit or debit card by clicking the blue button above that says “$5 Annual Membership.”

  • Send an e-transfer to accounting@lahavecoastal.ca

  • Mail a cheque to LaHave Coastal Conservation Association, 711 Mount Pleasant Road, LaHave, NS B0R 1C0.

Donating Land

You can permanently protect your land and receive a tax receipt for its appraised value. The shores and forests throughout the LaHave archipelago have a storied history that we all seek to preserve. As the weather and environment change, it’s up to us to band together and protect natural habitats for all of us to appreciate, nurture, and enjoy.

Please contact Jim Sunderland to discuss your property, its conservation values and your interests, and for more information about tax benefits and the process.

Receipts for US taxpayers

US taxpayers can make a donation to LaHave Coastal through our partner American Friends of Canadian Conservation (AFCC) and receive tax benefits in the United States.

  • Donate online using your credit card at AFCC’s secure site.

  • Mail a cheque in US funds along with a GRANT RECOMMENDATION. The language in the Grant Recommendation is necessary for your gift to be tax deductible in the US.

  • Donate stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares to AFCC to avoid US capital gains taxes while receiving a tax deduction for the current value of your securities. Contact AFCC staff at 250-688-1508 in Canada, or 360-515-7171 in the US, or info@conservecanada.org for instructions.

  • You can also donate land to LaHave Coastal through American Friends and receive a receipt deductible against your US source income. You can find more details in this Fact Sheet created by American Friends about “cross-border” conservation gifts.
