Wills and Estates

Plan now to create a legacy that reflects your life and help our community For Good. Forever.

A gift in your will or through your estate ensures you leave a legacy that supports your passions. We work with you to realize your generosity goals.

Making a future legacy gift

Gifts made through your will or estate are often called legacy or future planned gifts. They can be made through one or more of the following:

  • Will
  • Listed appreciated securities
  • Life insurance
  • Retirement assets (RRSP, RRIF)
  • Charitable remainder trusts
  • Residual interest

These gifts can be directed to an existing fund, or you can create your own endowment fund. Want to learn more? Explore endowment funds.
