Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation is pleased to announce that charitable donations made until February 28, 2025, will still qualify for a 2024 tax receipt, thanks to a recent announcement by the Government of Canada. This extension provides donors with additional time to support vital healthcare initiatives in their communities.
“This is fantastic news for both our organization and our generous donors”, says Elizabeth Harris, Executive Director of Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation. “The much-needed extension allows us to make up for lost ground due to the recent postal strike which significantly impacted our ability to receive donations. We are counting on our community for their support”.
Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation relies on the support of the community to fund essential equipment and programs for the local hospitals and healthcare facilities within Fraser Health. The Foundation serves the communities of Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Hope, Agassiz, and Harrison Hot Springs, ensuring local residents have access to the best possible health care.
The Government of Canada’s extension decision is particularly helpful in allowing charitable organizations to recover from the challenges posed by the postal strike. This grace period ensures that organizations like the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation can continue their critical work to support health care in the Fraser Valley.
