Title: Profit with Purpose

Profit with Purpose
2
Our Objectives
  • Create financial security for Canadians through
    tax savings and business ownership.
  • To help break the cycle of poverty and the crisis
    in healthcare around the world, by providing
    Charities with the funds they need to meet their
    mandates in the areas of education and
    healthcare.

Taxation Suffocates Financial Prosperity
  • On average, Canadian workers pay over 50 of
    their income in different kinds of taxes
  • Income tax is the largest single cash
    outlayeroding disposable income and the wealth
    of most families
  • Tax Saving Strategies are not limited to the
    wealthy as there are dozens of legal ways to
    defer or reduce income taxes and all of which are
    available to the average Canadian

HealthcareA State of Crisis
  • Consider these facts
  • There are over 40 million people worldwide who
    are infected with HIV
  • The ratio of women to men who are infected is 2
    to 1
  • 53 percent of all deaths in young children are
    attributed to under-nutrition
  • Millions of children die or go blind each year
    due to vitamin deficiencies
  • Vitamin supplements may be one of the few
    potential treatments that are inexpensive enough
    to be made available to HIV-infected persons in
    Developing countries
  • Better education and preventative healthcare are
    two areas which will impact the lives of
    thousands of people in Developing Countries

5
Charitable Giving Can Help Solve the Crisis in
Healthcare and Education
  • Charities play a vital role both in society and
    around the world
  • Generous tax incentives have been created by our
    government to encourage GIFT by individuals and
    corporations to Registered Charities
  • A gift is a voluntary transfer of cash or gifts
    in kind to a Registered Charity for which the
    donor receives no benefit in return

What is a GIFT?

Tax Benefits of Charitable Giving
Donation of Cash
  • Tax receipt equals Amount of cash donated
  • Tax receipt equals the Fair Market Value of the
    donation

Donation of Gifts in Kind
7
How does a Charitable donation work?
  • You may donate up to 75 of your Net Income (as
    defined by Canada Revenue Agency and The Income
    Tax Act) in any one calendar year.
  • Donations in excess of an annual donation limit
    may be carried forward and claimed in any of the
    next 5 years.
  • The first 200 of a donation receives a tax
    credit calculated at the lowest marginal tax rate
    (marginal tax rates vary depending on your
    province of residence).
  • Donations in excess of 200 receive a tax credit
    calculated at the highest combined marginal tax
    rate (46.4 in Ontario, when Ontario surtaxes are
    fully paid).

The Charity
Destiny Health Wellness Foundation (Destiny)
  • A Private Foundation whose goal is to enrich our
    lives as philanthropists and those in our
    communities.
  • They work very closely with, and provide support
    to, other Registered Charities which are
    committed to breaking the cycle of poverty and
    the crisis in healthcare in Developing Countries.
  • The trustees of Liberty carefully examine
    applications for assistance with a view to ensure
    donations go directly to those in need of
    educational tools, such as computers and computer
    learning tools.
  • They will also support Charities that are
    committed to helping with the global crisis with
    HIV and Malnutrition.

    combines their funds with borrowed money to
