Planned giving

is a way for people to donate to or continue supporting an organization after their death. The easiest way to “plan” your gift is by including a specific bequest to the organization(s) you want to support in your will.

If you choose to make a bequest in your will, you can choose to leave Federated Health Charities a specific amount of money, or a percentage of the value of your total possessions. You make the arrangements today and Federated Health Charities will receive your gift after your death. A bequest can be a donation of cash, property, investments and securities, a life insurance policy, or the unused proportion of an RRSP. Most donations made through planned giving are eligible for a tax receipt, which can help offset inheritance taxes on your estate.

If you are interested in including a gift to Federated Health Charities in your will, we recommend discussing your plans with your financial planner, lawyer, or both so that you understand the financial and tax implications for your estate. Whatever amount you may leave for Federated Health Charities we would accept it with gratitude and distribute the funds in accordance with your will thus keeping your legacy alive.
