Origin
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 2015 fiscal year, over 7,100 donations were received with a total value of $1.25 million. More than a dozen City divisions and programs benefitted from these contributions. 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-receipted donations, the actual value of contributions to the City is certainly higher.
The Toronto Office of Partnerships (TOP) will report back on the City's 2016 donation activity in the summer of 2017.
