To DOUBLE your donation to the Canadian Mathematical Society, see if your company has a matching gifts program and contact the Human Resources or Charitable Giving department where you work.
Friends of the Canadian Mathematical Society (FCMS)accepts charitable donations from individual U.S. citizens and organizations, and uses them to provide education and research support programs offered by the Canadian Mathematical Society, in an arrangement that allows those donations to be claimed on U.S. Tax Returns.
Donations can be made to specific CMS programs or the decision can be left to the discretion of the FCMSBoard of Directors. Each donation made to FCMS results in a tax receipt issued to the donor.
The mechanism by which FCMSsupports Canadian Mathematical Society programs is through a grant application process. The Canadian Mathematical Society submits Grant Applications that are acted upon by theFCMS Board of Directors.
Canadian citizens and those (presumably few) U.S. citizens who have a Canadian income can get Canadian tax receipts for donations made directly to the Canadian Mathematical Society and are encouraged to give consideration to this path (www.cms.math.ca/Docs/donating.html).
FCMS is an incorporated non-profit with US Internal Revenue Service 501(c)3 status.
YOU can help support important mathematical research projects through CMS Endowment Grants.
The CMS Endowment Grants Program (http://www.cms.math.ca/Grants/EGC/) funds projects that contribute to the broader good of the mathematics community in Canada. Each year, proposals are reviewed by the CMS Endowment Grants Committe and grants are made.
