Special Notice to Canadian Crystallographers
Tax Deductible Contribution to the L.D. Calvert Trust Fund
The Canadian National Committee of the IUCr, under the auspices of the
L.D. Calvert Trust Fund, has instituted a method for tax deductable
contributions by individuals and solicit your contributions.
The Larry Calvert CNC/IUCr Trust Fund offers travel awards for
students presenting a poster or talk at the triennial IUCr congresses;
as well as a Canadian Crystallography Student Presentation
Award for the best Canadian student poster at the
yearly American Crystallographic Association meetings.
The intended use for received donations, by default, 50% is added to the
principal and 50% spent on the awards. Though people donating to the
fund can, if they wish, specify the percentages of their donation to be
split between the principal, spent on triennial IUCr travel awards and
the annual ACA conference Canadian Crystallography Student Presentation
Award. However, actual amounts split between donations and growing the
fund is subject to Canada Revenue Agency regulations.
Contributions to the award fund must be made to the CNC, to be eligible
for tax deduction status. Cheques should be made out to:
L.D. Calvert CNC/IUCr Trust Fund
and sent directly to:
"L.D. Calvert CNC/IUCr Trust Fund"
