Ways to Give at Compass

Your generosity helps continue our mission of seeing the spiritual transformation of people, families, and communities, in our region and globally. Your gift helps us be known by love and makes a huge difference. 

By donating to our Finish Strong Financial Challenge 2025, you’re directly supporting our efforts to help families in need right here in our community, as well as our Newcomers Ministry efforts to find a permanent home for eight Compass sponsored refugees who have recently arrived in Canada. We are also raising funds to help resettle a refugee family from the slums of Kampala, back to a new home in Northern Uganda. Together, we can create lasting change and a brighter future for those in our communities and around the world.

Are you looking to give to our Mission Experiences?

Missions funds will be used for missions throughout the world. To find out more about our adult and student Mission Experiences check out our Global Ministry page.

Consider Giving to Compass

Generosity is foundational to what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. When you give sacrificially you are demonstrating your trust in God, declaring him as your first priority and participating with him on mission. When you give there are practical financial benefits and significant spiritual blessings. 

Make your giving an act of worship and a step of faith because Jesus first gave to us (2 Cor. 8:9).

All the giving options are easy and accessible to you. Donations by cheque can also be mailed to Compass Community Church, Box 86, Orangeville, ON, L9W 2Z5. If you need assistance with online giving, please email. Cheques are processed every two weeks and may take up to three weeks to clear at the bank.

All gifts are subject to our Giving Policy. The use of funds is restricted to activities approved by the Board of Elders. Gifts directed to an approved activity will be restricted for use in that activity with the understanding that when the need for such activity has been met, or cannot be completed for any reason as determined by the Board of Elders, the remaining restricted gifts will be used where most needed.

Gifts will go towards fulfilling a pledge, if applicable.

All gifts will receive an annual tax receipt.

  • General funds will be used for all sites and ministry programs where most needed.

  • Benevolent funds will be used to assist people, families and partner organizations in financial need based on our Benevolence Policy.

  • Capital funds will be reserved for repairs and purchases of capital property outside of our General operating budget.

  • Refugee Sponsorship funds will be used for the sponsorship of refugee newcomers.

  • Forward/Finish Strong Challenge funds will be used for specific purposes approved by the Board of Elders and communicated in special financial challenges.

Plan to Give With Securities, Estates, and Insurance

Making a plan to give with securities, estates, and insurance is beneficial to you and Compass!  

  • Donate publicly traded stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, and take advantage of tax benefits like no capital gains tax while receiving a tax receipt for your donation. Start by letting us know about your plans so that we can help or talk to an organization like Abundance Canada. 

  • Plan to donate a portion of property, securities, or cash from your estate and your estate will receive a tax receipt that may lower or eliminate your estate taxes. Start by talking about your plans with your family and loved ones, then speak to your lawyer to draft or update your will.

  • Donate life issuance if you no longer require the insurance for your estate. Start by talking with your professional advisor or insurance provider to name Compass as the beneficiary of your policy.  

    For all planned gifts, let us know about your plans so that we can help or talk to an organization like Abundance Canada.
