Supporting Iris Ministries Canada

To support the work of IMC and/or any of our Canadian missionaries, please choose a method, and refer to the instructions outlined below, so that donations can be processed  accurately.

Issuance of Charitable Tax Receipts:

Iris Ministries Canada will acknowledge receipt of donations with an official tax receipt for income tax purposes on an annual basis, each January, for all who give by cheque, E-Transfer, or via our EFT pre-authorized payment program. Please notify us if your address changes.

 

1. Cheque

Giving the old-fashioned way by cheque is still one of the best ways to give - no fees means more of your donation is put to work.

You may send a personal cheque, money order, post-dated cheques or bank draft payable to:

Iris Ministries Canada: 87 Metcalfe Street, Aurora, Ontario, L4G 1E7

Please note that cheques must be written using the complete name of the charity, Iris Ministries Canada. Our financial institution will not accept the wording Iris Ministries or Iris Canada.

We are in constant contact with our Iris bases in Africa re the areas of greatest need. While we encourage donors to give generally, if you are designating your gift to one of our projects or missionaries, please attach a note indicating where/to whom you would like the donation directed. We ask that you do not write this in the memo box of your cheque.

We make every effort to ensure that your donations go to the program/project of your choosing. If for whatever reason we cannot honour your request, we will contact you to discuss.

 

2. Email Money Transfer (Interac E-Transfer)

For an immediate transfer of funds from your web-banking, send Interac e-Transfer to info@irismin.ca. 

Please send a separate email to the same email address, notifying IMC administrators of your donation and where/to whom you wish your funds to be designated. Please include your name and address for receipt purposes. You need to give us your details with your first E-Transfer only.

 

3. Pre-Authorized Payment (EFT Program)

A pre-authorized payment program for monthly direct withdrawal of funds from Cdn. bank accounts is available for those who desire to support IMC on a monthly basis. View and print the form (PDF): IMC Pre-Authorized Payment donor form, and either mail or scan it (along with a voided cheque) to our office.

 

* Donations via cheque, e-transfer, or our monthly EFT program yield the greatest financial impact on those we serve.

 

4. Online Donations

You can make one time or recurring monthly donations using credit card, Visa Debit, or Paypal, by clicking on the Donate Now button below.

This service is provided by CanadaHelps.org, a secure site for receiving credit card donations. Please be aware that between 3.5 and 4% of all donations given to IMC are withheld by CanadaHelps.org for their services to us (i.e., IMC receives between 96 - 96.5% of all funds donated by this means). 

Please note that all donations given via credit card will be issued tax receipts by CanadaHelps.org and not IMC.

CanadaHelps.org fees vary depending on the way you choose to use their service:

1.    A fee of 3.5% of each donation will be withheld from donors who set up a 'Donate Now Monthly' account (ongoing monthly donations).

 2.   A fee of 3.5% of each donation will be withheld from donors who give by clicking on one of IMC's two embedded 'Donate Now' buttons (see top right of our homepage, or directly below) for one-time donations or ongoing monthly donations.

 3.   A fee of 4% of each donation will be withheld from donors who go directly to CanadaHelps.org (bypass the 'Donate Now' buttons on the IMC website) and instead use the CanadaHelps search box to find us.

To access the service, please click on the logo below:
