Committee Decision

The Executive Committee received the report (August 6, 2014) from the Director, Toronto Office of Partnerships, for information.

Origin

(August 6, 2014) Report from the Director, Toronto Office of Partnerships

Summary

The purpose of this report is to provide an annual summary of the City’s donation activity as required by section 4.15 of the Policy on Donations to the City for Community Benefits.

 

For the 2013 fiscal year, almost 8,000 donations were received with a total value of $1.09 million.  More than 35 City programs benefitted from these donations in 2013. Donations were made by both individuals and organizations and came in largely from local areas of the City, but also from other parts of the province, and even the country.

 

It is important to note that the summary only pertains to donations for which tax receipts were issued by the City itself. Agencies and Corporations that issue their own tax receipts, such as the Toronto Public Libraries and the Toronto Zoo, are not included in this summary. Moreover, since the summary is based solely on tax-receiptable donations, the actual value of contributions to the City is likely higher.

 

The Toronto Office of Partnership (TOP) will report back on the City’s 2014 donation activity in the summer of 2015.
