What is the Seniors Resource Centre of Newfoundland & Labrador?
The Seniors Resource Centre of Newfoundland and Labrador ( SRC NL)is a non-profit, charitable, voluntary organization administered by a Board of Directors. We are dedicated to promoting the independence and well being of older adults in Newfoundland and Labrador through the provision of information as well as various programs and services.
The SRC NL provides invaluable services to communities around the province. The Centre relies heavily on both the devotion of volunteers and the financial generosity of individuals and corporations and funding from various levels of government. Without this partnership, our programs would not survive.
Some of the Programs and Services offered by the Seniors Resource Centre are:
These programs and services all require funding to remain operational. All donations receive a tax receipt and a listing in our Annual Report.
Planned Giving
To enable the Centre to plan for the future in a period of increasing restraint, we have established a program of planned giving through wills and bequests. We ask you to consider a planned gift to the Seniors Resource Centre.
You may be able to give more than you might realize while receiving substantial tax advantages during your lifetime.
This program provides for long term financial assistance for the Centre. So many of our efforts are aimed at generating immediate funds to remain operational. A planned gift ensures revenue in the future.
There are many ways you can provide and effective gift. We welcome outright gifts of cash and property but recognize that this approach is not for everyone.
Here are some of the ways you can help:

death of donor

different market

attractive and immediate tax relief to the donor
