The McDougall United Church Foundation was founded in 2001 for the purpose of promoting philanthropy among the members and friends of McDougall United Church. The business of the Foundation is to remind, urge and assist giving to McDougall and to the greater community that McDougall supports. 

The original priority of the Foundation was to receive donations and take on a mortgage for the building of our new sanctuary. We celebrated the payout of this mortgage with a "mortgage burning ceremony" in 2015. 

Since that time, an important priority for the Foundation has been to provide support to McDougall United Church for the major capital expenditures associated with the maintenance of the church building and grounds. With the COVID-related closure of the church facility in the spring of 2020, the McDougall Foundation transferred funds to the church for the costly technology upgrades required for the livestreaming of worship services. 

The Foundation has also provided financial support for other technology upgrades (E.G. sanctuary projectors and electronic signage) to help McDougall communicate its  message to the congregation and the wider community. 

The McDougall Foundation is able to  accept all types of donations of cash, stocks, bonds, bequeaths, life insurance, and other gifts in kind to maximize tax benefits to our donors.
