We’re Leaving “Leave A Legacy” Month – but  don’t Leave Your Legacy Unfinished<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Leave a Legacy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Consider touching base with your donors, friends and community during the COVID-19 Leave A Legacy Month, and introduce philanthropy as part of good estate planning.

Since majority of adult Canadians do not have a current will, and for those with a current will, only 4 to 7% have a bequest for charity. 

Even though we’re at the end of Leave A Legacy Month, this is an opportunity to engage in discussions with your friends, supporters and community that may help your charity and your donors with their estate planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the bottom of the message is a link to Giftabulator, a giving calculator can benefit the following groups: 1) your individual donor and their families; 2) the individual\u2019s advisors (tax planner, financial advisor and legal advisor); 3) your organization and its leadership team because it can illustrate the best ways to give from assets that are highly taxable. 

It’s never too late to Leave Your Legacy and make you mark on society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep safe and be well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
