Donate: How you can support our work
There are several ways you can choose to donate in support of the Foundation’s mission
You may choose to donate to the Foundation in support of a specific project, or in memory of a loved one, or even, as a legacy gift. Donations in memory of loved ones or memorials will be acknowledged in an appropriate manner, in consultation with the donor.
Some choose to give a cash gift. Others leave legacy bequests in their estates. Still others name the Basilica Heritage Foundation as the beneficiary of an RRSP or RIF.
