The SASCU Community Endowment Fund (SCEF) was created to support environmental projects in the area and to ensure a bright and sustainable future for our community.

At SASCU, we value community. That’s why in spring of 2009, the SASCU Board of Directors created SCEF – a fund which grows in perpetuity with the earned income invested back into the community each year.

Grants are provided to projects which benefit or enhance the environment OR which promote environmental awareness by providing access to outdoor recreation or environmental education opportunities.

In previous years, funds were awarded to the Family Resource and Referral Society for the irrigation of their community garden and to the Shuswap Trail Alliance for their Trail Mix event which promoted environmental awareness.

If you’re passionate about the environment and want to donate to help local environmental projects, the Shuswap Community Foundation accepts donations on behalf of the SASCU Community Endowment Fund.

A gift of publicly traded securities can be an attractive option. The Income Tax Act provides that capital gains on securities donated to a charity are exempt from tax, but the donor will receive a tax receipt for the full appreciated value. You will receive a tax receipt for the value of the stock at the time of transfer, and may carry forward for up to five years any unused portions of the gift.

Please talk to your professional adviser or broker to make stock transfers easily. You may download the Share Transfers Form for when you meet with your broker.
