The Canadian Royal Heritage Trust provides an invaluable educational service to Canadians, particularly to young Canadians, a service that would not otherwise be available. There is no other organisation in Canada providing this service. As a non-governmental organisation, the Trust depends on the generosity and commitment to Canada's heritage of individual Canadians and the corporate community of the country. By contibuting to the Canadian Royal Heritage Trust, Canadians can play an active and important role in preserving the heritage of their country. The Canadian Royal Heritage Trust spends only a tiny percentage of its funds on administration of the Trust.
Trustees receive no salary or honoraria.
The funds donated to the Trust are spent directly on maintaining a library, archive and information service on Canada's royal heritage, accessible to the public, and on education and academic research. These services are provided free of charge, or at a minimal charge, to the general public, through the generosity of the Trust's donors. The Canadian Royal Heritage Trust can be supported by financial donations, donations of books and archival collections and donations in kind of equipment and supplies. Charitable receipts are issued for income tax purposes by the Trust.
