Become a Partner:

By partnering with OSI-CAN, you signal your support for our veterans and community first responders. There are many ways to align your brand with OSI-CAN:

  •  An outright gift – an unrestricted yearly donation to OSI-CAN supports our services by allowing its use in the area of greatest need and adapting to emergent issues.

  •  A directed gift – you may choose to support a particular service offered by OSI-CAN, 
    such as service dog placement, equine-assisted learning, financial support for counselling, indigenous land-based healing or peer support groups. A complete list of our programs is found on our website at www.osicansk.ca/programs. We can help direct your support to the impact area best aligned with your business.

  •  Cause Marketing and Point of Sale Campaigns – donating a portion of sales or proceeds or soliciting a point of sale donation are effective ways to show your support for our veterans and community first responders living with an operational stress injury or PTSD

  •  Event and Campaign Sponsorship – by becoming an event or campaign sponsor, you can support OSI-CAN while connecting to new audiences. Events held by OSI-CAN include the Laughter Begins Recovery Comedy Night and the Mindy Indy. Sponsorship details can be found by contacting osicandir@cmhask.com

  •  Corporate Fundraising for OSI-CAN – Become a hero by raising funds on behalf of OSI-CAN. Create your own company event or campaign to raise funds and have fun.  Corporate fundraising can be internal – to engage your employees in the cause – or external, demonstrating your commitment to your clients and customers.

  •  Employee Matching and Payroll Deduction – Show your commitment to OSI-CAN by honouring your employees with a matching donation.

Gifts of Securities:

You can support OSI-CAN with a gift of publicly traded securities, mutual funds or stocks. A gift of securities, including stocks, stock options or bonds, is an easy way for you to make a current or deferred gift. By making a gift of your appreciated securities, you can avoid paying capital gains tax that would otherwise be due if you sold these assets. If you want to support OSI-CAN in this way, please contact the Director of Finance at the Canadian Mental Health Association (Saskatchewan Division) Inc., Peter Chaya, at peterc@cmhask.com. He can guide you through the process. Please be sure to mention the donation is being made in support of OSI-CAN. Once we receive the transfer of your stocks and securities, a charitable tax receipt will be issued to you for the fair market value. The fair market value is dependent on
the closing price for when the gift has been received.


This information is general and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice. We
strongly recommend that you seek advice from your financial advisor and/or lawyer and family
to determine if the gift of securities is right for you.

LEAVE A LEGACY OR GIFT IN YOUR WILL:

The easiest way to leave a legacy for OSI-CAN is through a gift in your will. You can choose to
leave a specific sum of money or a percentage of the value of your estate. A gift by bequest in
your will is an easy and impactful way to make a meaningful gift. Your estate will receive a
donation receipt that will produce generous tax credits to offset any taxes owing on your final tax
return.
There are many ways to leave a legacy, and knowing the possibilities and deciding what works
best for you and your family is important. We strongly suggest you discuss your plans with your
loved ones and a professional advisor as well.
