A consolidated tax-deductible receipt will be sent one per year. Monthly donations can be changed or cancelled at any time. To change or cancel your current monthly donation, please call our office at 604-575-8840.

Plan a Legacy Gift

After taking care of your loved ones, a planned gift in your Will can be a wonderful way to leave a legacy for generations to come. As a benefit to your loved ones, a donation in your Will may reduce the taxes on your estate, lessening the financial impact on your family.

Should you wish to create a gift in your Will, please ensure that you use our legal name:

British Columbia/Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion Foundation

Registered charitable number: 88076 0285 RR0001

Can I donate to my local branch and still receive a tax receipt?

Unfortunately, no. Local Legion branches are separate entities from the Legion Foundation BC/Yukon and in most cases, are not registered charities. The Legion Foundation BC/Yukon is unable to accept funds designated for Legion branches. If you wish to donate directly to your local branch, please contact them directly.

I donated to the Military Service Recognition Book. Can I receive a tax receipt?

The Military Service Recognition Book is published each year by the Legion Command BC/Yukon. The book publisher, Fenety Marketing, conducts a telephone appeal, often asking for pledges, to raise funds in support of this initiative. In both cases, these organizations are separate from the Legion Foundation and should be contacted directly for more information.
