If you are interested in donating stocks, shares or mutual funds to COUC, we recommend you do this via the United Church of Canada Foundation to direct your donation towards COUC as they have much lower fees than Canada Helps and other online donation portals. Please see button below to redirect to the UCC Foundation site:
Pre-Authorized Remittance (PAR)
PAR is the easiest and simplest way to make regular monthly contributions to COUC.
PAR is run through the United Church of Canada and allows for donations to be withdrawn directly from your bank account once a month and then deposited into the new COUC bank account. When you sign up for PAR you specify both the total amount of the donation and the fund or funds (General Operating Fund or Mission and Service Fund) to which you are donating.
PAR is a recommended way of making donations to COUC as the fees attached to it are low, the transfers are automatic and the incoming cash flow is consistent each month.
For information on joining PAR or on making changes to your current PAR contributions, please contact our donations steward, Marg Brooks.
