By donating, you play an essential role in maintaining the quality of the NCS programs. Not only do you contribute to the success of the next generation of circus artists and to the influence of Quebec circus arts, you also contribute to the enrichment of our cultural life. Moreover, since 1993, your donations have enabled the NCS to finance its annual shows as well as numerous research and creation workshops.
It is possible to donate one or several listed securities to the NCS. This type of donation is one of the most advantageous from a tax standpoint. You will receive a tax receipt for the market value of the shares at the time of the donation, without having to pay tax on capital gain.
A planned donation is a good option because it is a concrete gesture that allows you to leave your mark on the circus arts industry and the Quebec culture. There are several ways to make a planned donation. We recommend that you consult a notary, a life insurer, a financial planner or a lawyer to find the donation method that best suits your objectives.
The National Circus School Foundation accepts this type of donation if its value and function meet its objectives. This may include specialized equipment or private collections of books, manuscripts, teaching materials or works of art.
