Memorial gifts are a thoughtful way of honoring the memory of a family member, friend or colleague who has passed away. Very often, families of the deceased prefer gifts to charity be made in lieu of flowers. Memorial gifts made to the Thompson Community Foundation qualify as charitable donations. Donors will receive a tax receipt and the family of the deceased will receive a card acknowledging your gift. A memorial gift to the Thompson Community Foundation remembers your loved one each year in our printed Annual Report and on our Memorial Page on our website.
