Our Planned Giving Program gives you the opportunity to make a gift to ensure a strong future for St. Joseph’s Health Centre. Here are some planned giving options.
Bequest in Will – The most common and easiest way to make a planned gift is a bequest in a will. A planned gift through a bequest may significantly reduce, by means of a charitable tax receipt, the tax payable on your final income tax return.
Life Insurance, RRSPs and RRIFs – Gifts of a new or existing life insurance policy can be made naming St. Joseph’s Health Centre Foundation as the beneficiary. This support builds towards a sizeable gift in the future by making relatively small premium payments today. St. Joseph’s Health Centre Foundation can also be named as the beneficiary of a RRSP or RRIF.
Gifts of Stock, Securities, Bonds and Mutual Funds – The Government of Canada has eliminated the capital gains tax on the charitable donation of publicly listed securities. Now you can reduce the tax paid on capital gains when the securities are donated directly to the Health Centre instead of selling the securities first.
Endowments – Establishing an endowment fund is another way to support the Health Centre. These investments are overseen by the Foundation’s Board of Directors and provide a never-ending source of income for programs and services at St. Joe’s.
