Friends of Eclipse FAQ

No, you will not receive a charitable tax receipt for your donation. The Eclipse Foundation is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization, not a charitable organization, so we are unable to provide charitable tax receipts.

We currently accept credit card donations and PayPal donations.

Thank you for wanting to donate periodically to the Eclipse Foundation!

The only way to create an automatic recurring donation is through PayPal. On the donate page, select the amount you would like to give periodically, click donate. In the next box, make sure PayPal is selected and selected a donation period, monthly or yearly. To confirm your donation, click the donate button again and you will be redirected to PayPal to finalize the donation. From then on, donations will be made automatically on your behalf monthly or yearly, depending on your selection.

To cancel your recurring donation, you will have to log in to your PayPal account to terminate the recurring payment. More information is available on the PayPal FAQ page.

You are welcome to make a donation via cheque or direct deposit, but please note that you will not be eligible for the Friend of Eclipse benefits.

We have an Eclipse Corporate Sponsor Program. A company may become a corporate sponsor by making a financial contribution or an in-kind contribution of goods and services to the Eclipse Foundation. There are three tiers of sponsorship: 1) Platinum, 2) Gold and 3) Silver; each tier representing the level of annual sponsorship to the Eclipse Foundation.
