SAINT PATRICK’S RESTORATION FOUNDATION
Revenu Quebec has confirmed that the St. Patrick’s Restoration Foundation is
designated as a “Registered Cultural Organization” for Quebec taxation
purposes. Large donations can potentially qualify for tax credits that equal
approximately 75% of the amount of the gift, such that a gift of, say, $25,000
can be made at an actual cost to the donor of $6,250!
DONATIONS BETWEEN $5,000 AND $25,000 MADE BEFORE
JANUARY 1, 2018
A donor may receive, for a given taxation year, in addition to the tax credit for
donations currently allowed by the tax system, a non-refundable tax credit equal
to 25% of the eligible amount of a initial large donation made in the current
year or one of the four preceding years.
A COMMITMENT OF $250,000 (PLUS) OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD
Instead of the tax credit for donations and the new additional tax credit as described above, these
individuals may claim a non-refundable tax credit calculated at a rate of 30% of the donation.
The St. Patrick’s Restoration Foundation was set up in 1988 for the sole purpose of financing the
restoration work needed by Saint Patrick’s Basilica, its ancillary buildings and land.

DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE
January 12th, 2015, marked the 5-year anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti, an
earthquake which caused over 200,000 deaths, injured more than 300,000 people, left 1.3
million people homeless and destroyed over 200 000 homes. In that time, Development
and Peace has carried out a reconstruction program of over $28 million, including $21
million in donations from the Canadian public and $7 million from the Department of
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) Canada.
Development and Peace’s reconstruction program in Haiti could not have been carried out
without the support of its donors and the commitment of its partners in Haiti. We would
like to thank all those across Canada, who showed such exceptional generosity toward the
people of Haiti following the earthquake.
The report Looking back on 5 years of action presents a summary of the reconstruction
program carried out by Development and Peace in Haiti after the earthquake. You can
access the report at their website: www.devp.org.
