Did you know that a planned gift not only supports the important work we do, it can also help you and your loved ones?
Planned giving allows you to leave a more significant gift than you could during your lifetime and your estate can receive a charitable tax receipt to help offset taxes. We encourage you to speak to your accountant about the unique tax advantages of each option.
Remember, there is no cost to you now and you can always change your mind.
