FUNDING
The Foundation is supported by contributions from the Canadian Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation annual dues and monetary gifts/bequests/grants from interested physicians, lay persons, public and private foundation health care institutions, governments agencies and business organizations.

In compliance with Revenue Canada regulations and with the written directions of the donor, financial gifts to the Foundation will be used in one of two ways:

• The gift will be retained by the Foundation for at least ten years in an interest bearing capital fund before allocation toward the activities of the Foundation. This will permit the formation of a permanent capital fund and will allow the Foundation to continue its activities and awards in perpetuity from the interest income generated.
• The gift will be used immediately for the Foundation activities and awards in the year of donation.

A gift of bequest can be designated to fund a specific award, grant or educational program. A tax receipt will be issued.
