Donate
Interested in making a monetary donation? Through our parent organization, The Mahone Bay Founders Society, we will issue charitable tax receipts for all donations over $20 by request. To request a tax receipt after you have made a donation, fill out this online form https://forms.gle/n1ctw8fkUmv3A4ij9 or email us at info@mahonebaymuseum.com
There are multiple ways to donate!
We prefer that you consider using PayPal Giving Fund with Paypal account or a credit card here where we receive 100% of the funds and you receive a tax receipt automatically from Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ca/fundraiser/charity/3476650
The next best option is an E-transfer from your online banking to info@mahonebaymuseum.com with “donation” in the message and no password should be required. We receive 100% of the funds but we will need to pay to have a tax receipt prepared for you for donations over $20.
A cheque by mail to the Mahone Bay Founders Society at PO Box 583, Mahone Bay, NS B0J 2E0 is also acceptable and we received 100% of the funds but this method requires more administration time and for us to pay to have a tax receipt prepared for you for donations over $20.
Want your donation to go towards one of our specific projects rather than make a general donation? Click our “Gift Shop” tab (or visit https://mahonebaymuseum.com/support-us/shop/) where you can select a project to donate towards and use Paypal or a credit card. We lose a small percent of the donation (2.2% to Paypal fees) and will have to pay to have your tax receipt prepared for donations over $20.
Sponsorship and Donations In-Kind
Businesses who would like to become a sponsor for one of our events or projects should contact us by email at info@mahonebaymuseum.com or call 902.624.6263
Donations In-Kind for services are also welcome! Additionally, businesses can also donate an item for our annual Silent Auction that occurs in April every year.
