Fund Definitions
Local
Your local givings support our 3 key purposes – Explore Spirituality, Experience Belonging and Embrace Action – so we can serve the evolving needs of our community of faith with worship, music, faith exploration and education, pastoral care, community engagement and more. This funding will help move Fairlawn Forward with a renewed vision of where God is calling us next. Local givings pay for all our programming, staff salaries, costs of running the building, our United Church of Canada assessment fee, communications to get our message out and administration to make it all happen. We are only able to serve our ministries because of your support to Local.
Embrace Action
At Fairlawn we have a long history of embracing action and passionate commitment to social justice, equity, and inclusion. Every dollar that you donate to this fund goes directly to our Embrace Action ministries, including Affirm, Camp Scugog, Refugee Sponsorship Program, Truth and Reconciliation, Walk-in Support and more. It also supports our donations to community organizations that address the needs of those who are marginalized.
Mission and Service
This money goes to the United Church of Canada to fund its mission work in Canada and globally.
Ways to Support Fairlawn
PAR
Please consider giving through PAR (preauthorized remittance by bank account deduction or by credit card), if you don’t already. It helps the church by providing a predictable flow of contributions.
Donating Shares
Donating publicly traded securities (outside of a registered account) that have appreciated in value directly to Fairlawn can be a very tax effective way to give. For more information on the tax rules associated with the charitable donation of securities, please visit the Canada Revenue Agency at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/donors. Remember to speak with your financial advisor to help determine if the sale of securities is in keeping with your overall financial plan.
Will Bequests and Lifetime Donations
Make Fairlawn part of your legacy. This is a great way to help ensure Fairlawn keeps living its mission for future generations. Consider putting Fairlawn in your will or making a one-time donation now so you can see the benefits at work during your lifetime.
