• Courier using one of the following secure, trackable methods:

FedEx: FedEx is CAN Fund’s recommended shipping method, since FedEx automatically insures packages for $100. Additional insurance can be added for $3.25 per $100 in jewelry value, up to a maximum of $1000.

UPS: Insurance can be purchased for $2.10 per $100 in jewelry value, up to a maximum of $500. Selecting ‘Adult Signature Required’ costs an additional $2.

Step 2: Receive a tax receipt for your donation

The appraisal process:

• Once a week, items donated to Gold4Gold will be securely transported to Imperial–Canada's largest full service precious metals manufacturer and refiner. Since 1914, Imperial has been manufacturing, refining, and selling gold, silver, and bronze.
• Imperial and a certified appraiser will weigh, analyze, catalogue, and appraise the items donated.
• Diamonds, gemstones, pearls, watches etc will be auctioned off.

How will the value of my tax receipt be determined?

• Each item will be appraised and a tax receipt will be sent for the fair market value. If an item is appraised at $500, a $500 tax receipt will be issued.

Please note:

• CAN Fund will issue a tax receipt to donors only for items donated that are valued at $25 or more.

Step 3: Help Canadian athletes reach their gold-winning dreams!

• Once Imperial appraises the value of gold, silver, and bronze donated, Imperial will issue CAN Fund a cheque. CAN Fund will then distribute this money directly to Canadian athletes who have applied to CAN Fund. The majority of Canadian athletes rely on CAN Fund so they can afford proper nutrition, coaching, equipment, travel to training camps and competitions and basic living expenses. www.myCANFund.ca
