I believed that because I grew up in a healthy environment, and because I came from a successful family of scientists and doctors, and because 'everybody does this anyways,' I was just experiencing a silly 'youth phase,' and I'd outgrow it.
Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.

MONTHLY GIVING:

Every little bit counts.  A monthly gift provides a continuous source of funds to support the mission of the Edgewood Foundation.  Monthly donations can be made simple through pre-authorized chequing or pre-authorized credit card debit.

IN MEMORIAM:

Honor their Memory.  A donation to the Edgewood Foundation in memory of a family member, friend or loved one is a meaningful way to express your sympathy.  When you make a Memorial Donation to the Edgewood Foundation, you may choose to send a letter of notification to the family or next of kin.

IN HONOR:

Honor the Commitment.  Gifts in recognition can be made to an individual who has worked hard in their recovery, or to an individual who supported you through your recovery.  A letter of notification  and/or thanks can be sent to the individual honored.

SOBRIETY BIRTHDAY:

Celebrate your Sobriety Birthday.  Celebrate your own sobriety by helping another begin the most important day of their life.  An annual gift of $250.00 will go towards sponsoring treatment for someone unable to financially support the cost.  Donations can be make in full or a monthly contribution of $21.00 can be made easily through pre-authorized chequing  or pre-authorized credit card debit.

LEAVE A LEGACY:

A gift in your will can be made by including one sentence in your will.  Gifts of legacy will not affect your current income and may ease the burden of probate fees on your estate and can provide a tax benefit to your loved ones or next of kin.  The Edgewood Foundation can provide a letter with suggested language reflecting your wishes for inclusion in your will.  You can then take the letter to your legal advisor for consideration.

GIFTS OF STOCK:

You can donate appreciated publicly listed stocks, bond, or mutual funds directly to the Edgewood Foundation rather then selling them to donate the proceeds, without paying capitol gains.  As a result, you will receive a tax receipt in the full market value to offset the income from other sources.

MATCHING GIFTS:

Many international companies will match employee donations to recognized charities.  Ask your employer if they have a matching gift program and double the contribution amount.

Donations can be made in person, by mail or via our web site on the secure form.  If you require any further information, please call toll free 1800-683-0111 and a Foundation Representative will be pleased to contact you.

All donations over $20.00 will be issued a charitable tax receipt.

Your generous contribution to the EDGEWOOD Foundation is greatly appreciated and goes directly to support the efforts in reducing the devastating impact of the disease of addictions on individuals, families and our society.
