A legacy gift is one of the most important gifts you could make. It roots your values and beliefs in a mission to protect nature and create a legacy that lasts for generations. Do you have a will? Are you thinking about what you will be leaving to your family and to a charity of your choice?
By making these decisions today, you ensure that your wishes are followed, and benefits are extended to both your family and your charity.
Did you know…
- When you make a legacy gift to a charity, it helps your family reduce the estate taxes.
- If someone other than a spouse receives your RRSP, more than a half of it could be paid out in taxes.
- Life insurance has some benefits that you could utilize during your lifetime.
In this presentation you will hear the overview of the legacy giving principles, learn real life examples, and deal with common misconceptions.
At the end of the information session you will have the opportunity to ask questions. The floor will be open to everyone and there will be no pressure to make a gift.
This session will be recorded and posted on our YouTube channel.
