Giving to MEI enables you to blend your desire to benefit the young people with your finacial and tax planning goals. MEI is a registered Canadian charitable organization, so your gifts are deductible to the extent allowed by your country of residence. Other benefits include deductions in income tax, avoidance of long-term capital gains tax, increased income and effective rate of return, and reduced estate and gift taxes.

The foremost benefit, though, is contributing to ongoing academic excellence and the changing of lives. We ask that you consider giving to MEI in any of the following ways:

• Giving your time
• Giving gifts in kind
• Giving financially
• By cash, cheque, money order, credit card, or bank transfer
• Through monthly contributions or payroll deductions
• As stocks and marketable securities
• As insurance policies
• As corporate matching gifts
• As charitable gift annuities

MEI is thrilled that individuals, churches, and businesses continue to give generously towards its support. Please call the Development office, at (604) 859-3700, ext. 324, so that we can help you reach your philanthropic goals.
