The IEEE Canadian Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the IEEE in Canada.
The Canadian Life Members Fund (of the IEEE Canadian Foundation) has
been created to enable Canadian IEEE life members to contribute to the
objectives of the IEEE and to participate in a donor thank you program
similar to the one initiated by the IEEE Life Members Committee (LMC) -
while taking advantage of the ability to receive a CRA approved tax
receipt for their donation. This program has been initiated at the
request of the IEEE Canada LMC and with the knowledge and support of the
IEEE LMC. Because CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) regulations are more
restrictive that those of the IRS in the United States, the reward
levels are slightly higher in Canada compared to those in the U.S.
Canadian IEEE life members who donate to the Canadian Life Members Fund
will receive a special token of appreciation:
- IEEE Life Members lapel pin (LM, LSM, LF grades available)
for a donation of $60 to $119
- IEEE Life Members pewter coaster which commemorates an
IEEE Historical Milestone for a donation of $120 or more
To make your donation and receive your token of appreciation, please
use our secure online donation website.
Notes: Donation levels are in Canadian Dollars. IEEE restricts a member
to having not more than one LM pin in any one grade of membership. As
this is a new program, please be patient regarding delivery.
IEEE "Life" status is an automatic process based on an individual's
membership record.
To qualify for Life Member status, a member must be at least 65 years of
age and have been a member of IEEE or one of its predecessor societies for
such a period that the sum of his/her age and his/her years of membership
equals or exceeds 100 years. Members who qualify each year will be notified
by mail in the fourth quarter of the qualifying year. "Life" status will be
effective on 1 January of the following year.
