There are six ways to help ensure that VoicePrint and its parent organization, The National Broadcast Reading Service Inc. (NBRS), can continue to bring vision- and print-restricted Canadians the in-depth published news and information that all people in this country must have in order to make informed decisions.
OUR SIX OPPORTUNITIES
OPTION 1: Become a Friend of VoicePrint
By joining our annual Friends of VoicePrint donation program you can show your support for our daily broadcasts of readings of articles from more than 600 Canadian newspapers and magazines at a level that best suits your financial circumstances.
OPTION 2: “Friends Of Charles MacColl Memorial Fund” For NBRS
To honour the memory of Charles MacColl and to salute his dedication to the cause of Making Media Accessible through his years of volunteer work on behalf of NBRS, a group of Charles’ friends have set up a memorial fund, contributions to which will go towards improving accessibility to published news and information in Mississauga, Ont., which was where Charles lived and worked for many years, by enhancing the operations of VoicePrint’s Local Broadcast Centre for the community.

OPTION 5: The Gift of Securities
The 2006 federal budget announced exciting news for both Canadians and Canadian charities. Effective immediately, the government has eliminated the capital-gains tax for donations of publicly listed securities to registered Canadian charities. This change will substantially reduce the after-tax cost of making a donation, making this type of donation even more attractive to Canadians. For more information on making a gift of securities to The National Broadcast Reading Service Inc., please call 1-800-567-6755, ext. 258, or e-mail
