A 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fund, Inc., has been established in Laredo, Texas.  This organization can receive pledge payments, donations and bequests in Canadian dollars.

However, it is not a Canadian Registered Charity, and so a Canadian tax receipt cannot be issued.  A U.S. tax receipt from the Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fund, Inc. may be useful to Canadians who have U.S. income to declare on their Canadian tax return.

If you wish to make a payment in Canadian dollars, you can use your Canadian Paypal account.

After you enter this email address and the amount, then add a note in the space provided, such as “Pledge payment for 2022-23 from (your name).   Unfortunately, you will be charged a PayPal fee for an international transaction.  There is now no way to avoid the fee.  You will get a U.S. tax receipt for the amount LCUUF, Inc. receives converted to U.S. dollars the following January.  This means the donor pays the PayPal fee.
