Leaving a Legacy

Legacy gifts afford an opportunity for Canadians to lower their tax liability while providing meaningful one-time or ongoing support to the fight to beat childhood cancer.

You can arrange a legacy by gifting stock, an insurance policy or annuity or by naming the Foundation as a beneficiary in your will or trust. Tax-smart gift planning can help you to increase your tax protection within your financial or estate plans.

Do you have a will? Is your will up to date?

Without a will, your property and finances are settled according to federal and provincial laws, which may not reflect your wishes, and may put a financial strain on your estate. It is just as important to review your will and to make changes that reflect the changing circumstances of your life, such as marriages and divorces, children, illness, grandchildren, property purchases or sales, and simply changes of mind.

Ensure that your loved ones and your favourite charity receive the legacy you want. Give us a call at 1 800 363 1062 and ask to speak to our Director of Development. We'll help you fashion the legacy package that suits your personal needs while helping the Foundation towards its goals of helping families deal with childhood cancer and finding a cure.

We can help you understand the implications and regulations regarding legacy options such as:

• Bequests and gifts by will
  Leave a donation to the Foundation in your will.
• Charitable gift annuities
  Provide a gift to the Foundation while providing personal income in your lifetime.
• Charitable remainder trusts
  Provide a significant gift to the Foundation through a trust from which you receive the income.
• Endowment gifts
  Create a lasting legacy in your honour or in honour of a loved one.
• Gifts of life insurance
  A gift of life insurance can make larger gifts affordable.
• Gifts of publicly traded securities
  Giving publicly traded securities can reduce your capital gains taxes.
