Benefits
Called a charitable bequest, this type of gift offers:
- Flexibility: Because you’re not actually making a gift until after your lifetime, you can change your mind at any time.
- Versatility: You can structure the bequest to leave a specific item or amount of money, make the gift contingent on certain events, or leave a percentage of your estate to us.
- Satisfaction: You can provide a future gift while retaining control of your assets during your lifetime.
Other benefits include:
- A charitable tax receipt to your estate
- Reduction or elimination of estate taxes through careful planning
- An opportunity to honour or memorialize yourself or a loved one by establishing a named endowment fund
