Support Your NDP

The Benefits of Membership

As a member of Peterborough NDP you will be kept up to date on issues affecting all of us and be able to get involved and help us make our community aware of just what a difference a strong united group of NDPers can make in the everyday life of this community. As a member of the local group you automatically become a member of both the Provincial and Federal party. You will be receiving information on the party's stand on issues that can only be gained by becoming a member. You will be able to make your concerns known to the party in a timely fashion.

• Wage earners - $25.00 per year.
• Those not earning a wage or students - $5.00 per year

Who can become a Member of the NDP?

• Anyone 14 years of age and above can become a member of the NDP.

Methods of Payment

We recommend the Pre-Athorized Chequing plan. It helps the party plan its revenues and expenditures and allows members to take full advantage of the tax rebates. You spread your contributions throughout the year instead of making one large donation.

Tax Credits

Make donating easier. It allows you to give more. When you give $200 you get back $150 on your income tax return. So it really only costs you $50. Both the Provincial and Federal Political Tax Credits are not a deduction against your income but a real credit against your tax payable. The credit is applied against the final tax payable line on your tax form. And now, should your provincial tax credit exceed your provincial tax payable, the difference is payable to you.
