Canadian Power Squadrons Foundation
(CPS Foundation)
- by Joe Gatfield, JN, Chair
It is my pleasure to bring you up to date on the activities
of the Canadian Power Squadrons Foundation (CPS
Foundation).
I encourage you to visit www.cpsfoundation.ca in order
to capture all aspects of the CPS Foundation including:
News and Updates; Members and their bios; Donations;
Memorial Logs, Honour Rolls, Affinity Pins and Grant Applications.
The
CPS Foundation is a Not-for-Profit corporation separate
from CPS-ECP and operates according to the Articles
as established with the federal government. As
a charitable trust, we are under specific guidelines as
laid out by the Canada Revenue Agency and subject to
audit similar to CPS-ECP. The Members are diligent in
looking at all aspects of the financial wellbeing of the CPS
Foundation and do their due diligence in any decision
making to ensure we are within the parameters as set. I
personally thank each of them as they have all given to
CPS-ECP and continue, most in dual roles, to contribute
valuable time to the CPS Foundation.
CPS-ECP Members often ask about the funding the CPS
Foundation gives to CPS-ECP. Although our primary
function is to provide financial aid to the Educational
Department, all grant requests are reviewed weighing
the ultimate benefit to CPS-ECP and the Membership.
In recent years, the CPS Foundation has granted close
to a half million dollars for the following:
40 CANADIAN BOATING | MAY 2024
* $270,000 towards the development of the new IT
system
* $100,000 to the 'Give a little - help a lot' campaign
towards course development and upgrades within
the Educational Department. Much of these funds
have been expended on the Moodle Course development,
dashboard integration and migration
* $33,600 for the Membership Recovery Project
* $75,000 for the PCOC Relaunch project (spread over
three years)
What is the source of funds for the CPS Foundation?
Funding comes from a variety of sources including Members,
Squadrons, Districts, individuals and organizations
that believe in our Mission. In this past year, we were
pleased to see that donations had doubled to the CPS
Foundation from the previous year. Although our donation
process is explained under the 'Donation' tab on the
CPS Foundation website, there are two types in particular
that are the major source of our receipts.
