What is Investing in the Future?
Investing in the Future is a gift-giving program for the continued and future development of skating in Saskatchewan. It allows you to make a contribution to skating in general or a specific cause and a receipt will be issued for income tax purposes. Donations can be as simple as cash or gifts in kind. Planned gifts, such as bequests, life insurance, endowments, trusts and annuities are also available. There are several gift-giving options that suit all income levels and degrees of commitment.
What are some of the specific causes?
Future Best (Grassroots)
Donations to the Future Best (Grassroots) Fund will be designated for training and education opportunities for clubs and non-competitive skaters. For example, funds may be used for leadership development, dance partnering, seminars and skater bursaries.
Coaches & Officials Development Fund
Dedicated to the sport of figure skating in Saskatchewan, donations to the Coaches & Officials Development Fund will go directly to developing the areas of coaching, judging, evaluating, accounting and music personnel. Much effort needs to be expanded in this direction.
Competitive Development Fund
Donations to the Competitive Development Fund are channeled to High Performance skaters for training and education opportunities at the discretion of the SFSA Executive Committee.
The Legacy Project
A program for individuals or clubs wishing to make a large gift or donation to Saskatchewan Figure Skating. Endowments, Legacy Funds, Memorials, Insurance Policies, Charitable Annuities, Bequests or other forms of gifts can be used to honour a special person, club or specific cause in the sport.
Skate Saskatchewan will work closely with the donor to create a thoughtful and lasting tribute or legacy.
