FINANCIAL PARTNERSHIP
​
First Step Options is a Christian faith-based ministry which realizes that the success we experience with the people we serve is directly related to the exceptional kindness and dedication of those that support us. Because we never charge for our services, every aspect of our ministry is supported by you, our loved donors.
​
CRA # 896363116RR0001
​
You may have read that the CRA will allow you to claim charitable contributions made in January and February 2025, on your 2024 taxes.
If you contributed to FSO during this period and would like to take advantage of this, please email firststepoptions@gmail.com and ask our bookkeeper to email an interim tax receipt. They will be emailed at the end of March, as we have to wait a month for cheques to clear. Your year-end tax receipt (in February 2026) will then exclude the donations already receipted.
If you do not wish to claim your 2025 donations for 2024, there is no need to do anything; your year end tax receipt will include all 2025 donations as usual.
