How you Can Help

Please help us to build a stronger, healthier community.

Regardless of the amount of your gift, you will be making a difference in the lives of people in need.

These are just some of the ways you can support our work:

Make a Donation
Send a message to the community that you are someone who cares – someone who is committed to helping those in need. Make an investment in the future of your community by making a gift in support of COSTI's programs and services.

Monthly Giving
Join our monthly giving program – a convenient way to spread your donation over the entire year. The steady, regular nature of monthly giving allows COSTI to plan ahead and respond to the ever-changing needs of the community.

Become a Friend of COSTI
Help us to continue to make this a better community by becoming a member of COSTI.

In Honour/Memoriam Gifts
Make a gift in memory of a loved one, or celebrate a special occasion in the life of a friend, family member, or colleague. COSTI will send a personalized card to the honoree on your behalf.

Legacy Gifts
You can support COSTI with gifts of stock, life insurance, annuities, trust, and bequests. A planned gift leaves a legacy for generations to come.

Gifts In-kind
Another method of contributing to COSTI is through our gifts in-kind program. Many organizations and individuals are able to provide COSTI with donations of vital goods and services, greatly reducing the costs of our programs and services. Gifts in-kind are also used for charity auctions held at various COSTI events throughout the year.

Tax Benefits of Giving
One additional benefit to making a charitable contribution to COSTI, besides the pride you feel from helping, is the tax benefit. Deducting your gifts can lead to considerable savings for you.
