By making a gift in-memory of a person or an event:
By making a bequest in your will to help the charity of your choice:- Every person has a chance to make a difference. While many may not have the means to donate land and buildings, almost everyone could leave $100 to the charity of their choice. Just imagine if everyone donatedd $100 to the charity of their choice on passing how fortunate that Charity would be.
Why your Will is Important: Your will or testament guarantees that your property and assets will be regulated according to your desires. Without a Will, there is no mechanism in place to make a bequest . Below are some steps you should take to ensure that your wishes are granted:
- Make a detailed list of your assets (financial, real estate, vehicles, jewellery, collectibles, musical instruments, etc.)
- Make a list of charities or causes you would like to support.
- Set up an appointment with your professional advisor (i.e. financial analyst, attorney, or planned giving officer) to discuss your options. Your professional advisor can help you decide which option(s) will work best for you and your family. To search for an advisor in your area, click here .
