Take Action

• Take care of program and capital expenses the government doesn’t cover and that support quality of life.
• Meet the changing needs of men and women with developmental disabilities, both in our homes and programs.
• Develop our leadership team, home support teams and assistants with skill training opportunities that enable us to provide quality care.
• Enable our community members to participate in retreats and other activities that contribute to personal growth.
• Support property and vehicle upgrades to ensure they remain accessible, safe and comfortable.

If you have publicly traded shares in your portfolio, consider donating them to L’Arche.

You will receive a tax receipt for the full market value of the shares at the closing trading price on the day they are received and will not owe capital gains tax on the advantage of the shares from the cost base. Your fund will receive the net value of the sale of the shares less brokerage commission.
