Legacy Giving
Commit today and your impact will continue
Legacy giving is the cornerstone of a strong and sustainable source of future funds.
"While kayaking in July 1993, Mum finally took note of a bulge in her abdominal area, and after tests and surgery was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. After her diagnosis she lived for another 20 years and enjoyed travels internationally, time with family, and many new adventures - including the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope where she brought us all to walk with her. The impact of ovarian cancer on her life and the possibility of us and her granddaughters going through the same experience sparked her commitment to naming Ovarian Cancer Canada as a beneficiary in her Will. Mum’s legacy and her hope will continue on to help and inspire others."
- Christina and Jacqueline Peacock, daughters of Anita Vidal
Benefits of legacy giving include:
- Setting up a bequest in your will is very simple, and you can make changes at any time.
- A bequest in your will leaves a lasting legacy and provides support in a cost-effective and meaningful way.
- You can retain the use of your assets and keep your cash flow today, while making a more substantial gift than you may have been able to otherwise.
- Your gift helps you reduce estate taxes on your final tax return, increasing inheritances to loved ones.
