How it works

For example, a donor gives $4,000 towards a specific cause or project.

  1. The donor receives a $4,000 charitable tax receipt.
  2. The donor receives a $2,000 tax credit.*

* Tax credit depends on the donor's income and specific circumstance. If you have questions regarding how this impacts your tax situation, please consult with your tax advisor.

Want to make an ongoing impact?

Setting up a recurring donation is easy — with options to give monthly or annually.

Giving online without a credit card

During the Vietnamese refugee crisis 44 years ago, Father Gauthier led a church congregation to sponsor a refugee family no one else wanted: mine. My mother had little education and six children. The kindness and generosity of these sponsors brought our family to this land of opportunity where I could pursue my dream of becoming a physician. Establishing the Gauthier & Tran Endowment in Medicine is my way of paying forward their kindness so other students in need can pursue their dreams.
