Have you thought about leaving a legacy to help us continue to
work for social justice?
Leaving a legacy to Change for Children is a great way to honour
your lifetime values, and make a difference in the world while
reducing your tax burden now and into the future.
Endowment Fund
Change for Children has worked to promote systemic change and
sustainable development through solidarity and partnership for
the last 30 years. Today, our hope is to build an Endowment Fund
to ensure we continue to maintain an integral, vital and stable
organization to carry on this work well into the future. The interest
generated annually by this fund will be used as project seed money.
Wills
When you write your will, you can make a bequest in the form of
cash or property by including Change for Children Association
as a beneficiary. You may also make a residual bequest to Change
for Children; a residual bequest is a gift of all or a fraction
of whatever remains after all debts, taxes, expenses and other
bequests are paid. Here is an example of what you can write:
"I give to Change for Children Association, currently located
at 2nd Floor, 10808-124 Street, Edmonton, Alberta, T5M 0H3, the
sum of $_______ (or ________% of my estate) to be used in support
of its general charitable purposes."
Life Insurance Policy
You can name Change for Children Association as the owner and
beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy. A gift
of life insurance is separate from your estate and has no effect
on its assets. Please consult a financial advisor or lawyer for
more information.
Donating Assets-stocks, bonds,
mutual funds
If you own stocks, bonds, or mutual funds shares that are traded
on certain stock exchanges, you can donate them to Change for
Children Association. The impact on your taxes is substantial.
Please consult a financial advisor for more information on how
to go about making this kind of donation.
Retirement Funds
You may also give a gift of RSP or RIF funds by naming your estate
as the beneficiary and then providing an equivalent bequest to
Change for Children Association.
