Securities

Donating shares, bonds and units of mutual funds helps proclaim the Good News that Jesus saves and to distribute God’s Word worldwide.

Your official receipt for income tax purposes will be valued at the closing price on the day when the shares are legally transferred to OM Canada’s account at our custodial agent, TD Waterhouse. (Please note: Shares are considered legally transferred only when delivery is confirmed by our custodial agent.) It is our policy to sell all shares as soon as possible after they have been received.

If the securities are held in a brokerage account, you can have your broker transfer your shares electronically to OM Canada’s account at TD Waterhouse. To make this kind of transfer, please contact your broker and have them complete the ‘Notification of a Gift of Securities’ form, which can be downloaded here or we can mail to you. If you have share certificates, please contact OM Canada for instructions. For additional information or to speak with someone directly, please call 1-888-482-4253 and ask for a member of the Financial Development team.

When you ask your broker to transfer the stock, please send an email or letter to OM Canada with the name of the stock, your name and mailing address, and how you would like the gift to be designated. This can be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or mailed to 84 West Street, Port Colborne ON Canada L3K 4C8. OM will send you a letter acknowledging your gift, including the name of the stock, number of shares and the date OM received the stock into its account along with your charitable tax receipt.

Life Insurance

Life insurance can be an easy and flexible way to make an important gift to OM Canada. This type of gift can provide immediate tax benefits to you, as well as tax relief for your estate.

There are many ways to make life insurance part of your lasting legacy:

• Existing policy

If a policy you already own has outlived its original purpose (if, for example, your children have grown), use it to help children, families and communities around the world by naming OM Canada as a beneficiary for a percentage or for the full amount of the policy. Your heirs may ultimately benefit because your estate will receive a tax receipt (and substantial tax savings) for the value of the donation.

• New policy

You can also purchase a new policy to benefit causes dear to your heart. Make OM Canada the owner and beneficiary of the policy and your tax benefits can increase dramatically. You’ll receive a tax receipt for premiums you pay. And the amount of your gift will continue to grow as the cash surrender value of the donated policy increases.

• Joint policy

Perhaps you wish to name OM Canada as beneficiary of a joint policy covering you and your spouse. This provides you the benefit of one premium payment instead of two, in addition to a tax receipt for payments made. Proceeds will be paid to OM Canada only after both parties have passed on.

• Make OM Canada the owner

Make OM Canada the owner and beneficiary of a new or existing policy and the tax benefits can increase immediately and significantly. This option entitles you to a tax receipt annually for any premiums you subsequently pay.

For additional information or to speak with someone directly, please call 1-877-487-7777 and ask for a member of the Financial Development team.

Through Your Will

The most well-known estate-planning tool is the Last Will and Testament.

Whether standing alone or as part of a complex estate plan, a Will is a convenient and often simple and straightforward way to distribute assets to those you love. It is also a powerful way to reach the lost with the Gospel. You can structure your will to make OM Canada the beneficiary of your estate in a number of ways:

• by bequeathing a specific dollar amount or a piece of property or a percentage of your estate
• by bequeathing the residue of your estate, which is what remains after all specific bequests and expenses have been accounted for

To name OM Canada in your will, all you typically need is the following information:

1. OM Canada 's full legal name: Operation Mobilization – Canada (Send The Light)
2. OM Canada 's permanent mailing address: 84 West Street, Port Colborne, Ontario L3K 4C8
3. OM Canada 's Registered Charity Number: 107801755 RR0001

In addition, the following language can generally be used to make a bequest to Operation Mobilization - Canada:

“I give, devise, and bequeath to Operation Mobilization – Canada (Send The Light), Registered Charity Number 107801755 RR0001, with the permanent address of 84 West Street, Port Colborne, Ontario L3K 4C8, the sum of $_______ [or describe the real or personal property or percentage of your estate] to be used for its general purposes.”

Faith Mission

OM is what is often called a “faith mission”. This is usually taken to mean that, as an interdenominational mission agency, we have no guaranteed denominational support base. Each OM worker and ministry must raise the finances necessary for them to participate in the mission. Beyond that though, we take faith living seriously in the sense of exercising faith in persistent praying and careful planning toward seeing our needs being met. We are dependent on the Lord as He provides through His people.

Stewardship Policy

The spending of funds received by OM Canada is confined to agency approved programs and purchases.  Each gift designated toward an approved program will be used for that program with the understanding that, when any given need has been met, designated gifts will be used where needed most.  Gifts are acknowledged and, where appropriate, an official receipt for tax purposes is issued.

Where your money goes

The basic unit of responsibility and ministry within OM is the field. For instance, OM Canada is a field, as is the Logos II ship. Each field may include numerous teams or ministries. A field is not necessarily delineated by political borders. For example OM has several fields in England. There are over 100 fields in OM. If your gift is for a project or a ministry in a particular OM field, then the gift received in our Canadian office is credited to the field represented by the gift and sent, within a month, to a central account in Belgium (called International Clearing House) for redistribution, according to designation. This method reduces massive foreign exchange charges while honoring the intention of the donor fully. Each field operates by its own budget and is responsible to care for its workers and projects on the basis of such gifts received.

Undesignated gifts provide maximum flexibility to meet the most pressing needs. These contributions are credited to OM Canada but may be used to meet the urgent needs of other fields, at OM Canada’s discretion.

Canadian Council of Christian Charities (CCCC)

OM Canada has been committed to financial accountability since its registration as a charity in Canada in 1966. We are firmly committed to demonstrating good stewardship of funds entrusted to us by our friends. We are appreciative of the sacrifice involved for many in giving and so we promise to use your gifts judiciously and effectively in Christ’s name. To further insure our financial accountability to our donors, we became members of the Canadian Council of Christian Charities (CCCC) in 1988. We fully adhere to the standards of CCCC  and support its objectives. Additionally, we commit ourselves not to rent, sell or make available your name to any other organization; all information relating to donor contributions is kept confidential.
