Item - 2023.EX10.13

The Executive Committee:  

1.  Received the report (November 21, 2023) from the Chief of Staff, City Manager's Office for information.

The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the City’s donation activity in 2022 as outlined in the annual reporting requirements of the Policy on Donations to the City for Community Benefits. 

For the 2022 fiscal year, over 7,500 donations for which tax receipts were issued were received, with a total value of $1.15 million.  Donations were made by both individuals and organizations. While most donations came from individuals and organizations that live or operate within the city, donations were also received from other parts of the province and country.

It is important to note that this summary only pertains to donations for which tax receipts were issued by the City. For example, this summary does not include donations under $20, gifts from foundations which do not qualify for a tax receipt, or in-kind donations where a tax receipt is not requested by the donor. Agencies and corporations that issue their own tax receipts are also not included in this summary.
