Automatic Debit Withdrawal Services

return these with a voided cheque. On the 15th of each month your

Further
Ways To Support
Regional
Representatives
SAFP’s work is shared
mainly by word-of-mouth, and our donors are usually the ones
"spreading the news" of our work. We decided to expand on this gift
that our donors have given us. Regional Reps are those who agree to be a
spokesperson for SAFP in their local area. You can distribute our material in
your community (churches, community centers, malls, etc.), give talks about our
work (we can provide the information), place SAFP news in church bulletins, on
television or the radio, and so on. Regional Rep’s duties do not include
collecting funds or forwarding any donations to SAFP. You are most welcome
to contact our office for details.
Talks on SAFP
SAFP finds the personal
contact the best way to "spread the news". Many of our supporters
share with family and friends. Another way of helping is by giving talks in your
parish and parish groups, community and service groups, schools, etc. This is a
terrific way for our work to reach those who have not heard about SAFP. You can
contact our office for details.
Corporate Support
Some businesses have a
"Matching Gift Program." This program has employers match the funds of
their employees’ charitable donations, which are sent to the employees’
charity of choice. You can inquire at your place of employment if they have such
a plan in place.
Other companies support
SAFP by having everyone in the office donate a dollar a month or through a
general collection which is forwarded to our office.
Hotlink to
SAFP’s
Website
You can support SAFP by
establishing a hotlink on your own website to ours. It’s a great way to guide
people visiting your site to the charity of your choice.
Life Insurance
You can name SAFP as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy. This has to be set
up with your own insurance agent. SAFP will provide a tax receipt for your yearly premiums once
we receive written confirmation from your insurance company.
Bequest
You can name SAFP in
your will as a beneficiary. You can be assured that your gift will live on to
assist many poor families on the road to self-reliance. You can contact our
office for details.
