Legacy Giving Options
Wills
and Bequests
Gifts
by Will are an especially significant part of the long term funding
of the important services and research of the MS Society. They
are becoming more popular as an increasing number of people draw
up their Will and include the MS Society as a beneficiary. More..
Gifts
of Life Insurance
Giving
a new or existing insurance policy is an effective method of
charitable giving. This type of gift even allows people of modest
means to make a gift of sizable proportions with only a small
annual or monthly payment. In addition, there is a tax credit
available for immediate tax relief. More.
Gifts
of Shares and Securities
By
donating securities that have increased in value since their
purchase, the donor reduces the income tax they would pay for
cashing in the security and receives a receipt for the full market
value of the security. More.
Charitable
Gift Annuities
A
charitable gift annuity helps you to provide a sum of money to
the MS Society of Canada and receive a guaranteed payment for life
to you or your surviving beneficiary. An annuity provides a steady,
dependable source of tax-free income while making possible a substantial
gift to the MS Society. More.
Gifts
of Residual Interest
A
gift of residual interest is an arrangement where an item of
value is deeded to the MS Society, but the donor retains the
use of this property for life or a term of years. The donor is
entitled to a tax receipt for the present value of the property
at the time the gift is made.
Charitable
Remainder Trusts
A
charitable remainder trust can be made within the donor's lifetime
or established within the Will. Under this type of planned gift,
the donor makes a gift to the MS Society through a trust agreement.
If the property generates income, the net will be paid to the named
beneficiaries.
Other
planned gift options include:
- Gifts
of Real Estate
- RRSPs
or RRIFs
