<div dir="ltr">Hi Paul,<div><br></div><div>We also receive an operating grant from our municipality and we are leasing their building/property, so not a perfect example, but we make sure everyone that contributes in some way to the season is mentioned in our annual report document at year-end/AGM time (just as sponsors would be too). There's just a section that says something like "Thank you to all of our wonderful contributors: ......" and we list them all.</div><div><br></div><div>Do you have a spot on your website where you (could) say "We are supported in part by..." and list all core funders/contributors? I'd include tax exemption as a core contribution as the expense would be a core expense if you had to pay it. Maybe in an about us or facility information section?</div><div>We haven't done this yet, but were considering just a social media post that thanks our municipality for approving the exemption too.</div><div><br></div><div>--</div><div>Joelle Hodgins</div><div>Museum Director<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><b>Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre</b></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><div>PO Box 26 - 1100 Hwy 3B</div><div>Rossland, BC V0G 1Y0</div><div><b>250-362-7722 (888-448-7444)<br></b></div><div>We acknowledge that we live and work on unceded Sinixt təmxʷúlaʔxʷ (territory).</div><div><div><img width="96" height="81" src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4xnH1NWhSIpwV-ul9mJ9g-ynCot5-TOTp3y4uiLaJmlM8oWK1J3Pk66taNCb0nhlc97Hz4g6Cw"></div>We are open year-round!<br>Regular Hours: Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 5pm<br></div>Find more details on our <a href="http://www.rosslandmuseum.ca/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">website</a>.<br>Find us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rosslandmuseum" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/RosslandMuseum" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rosslandmuseum/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">Instagram</a>!</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><a href="http://eepurl.com/bN85oT" target="_blank">Subscribe </a>to our biweekly E-Newsletter!</div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, May 17, 2022 at 12:08 PM Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv <<a href="mailto:listserv@lists.museum.bc.ca">listserv@lists.museum.bc.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>Hello Colleagues - first time I've posted here!</p>
<p>A question: How do other organizations who receive a Permissive
Tax Exemption (PTE) from their municipalities recognize that
specific support?</p>
<p>Though we have received the PTE for many years, Its the 1st time
the Village of Kaslo has ever requested recognition. We are a
charity and we own the building where we operate our programs.<br>
</p>
<p>To be clear, we ONLY receive the PTE from the Village, which in
my understanding is pretty standard for community non-profits - we
do not receive any kind of core or operational financial support
from them.</p>
<p>We have an annual corporate sponsorship program with levels of
recognition but that didn't seem the appropriate place for
recognition. <br>
</p>
<p>I would be most grateful for any assistance or thoughts anyone
might have with this - thanks so much!</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
-Paul
