Planned Giving - Impact your loved ones and the community you love.
Estate Planning is Life Planning.
You get to choose how you Leave your Legacy.
Planned Giving Opportunities are a very special way for people to make a legacy gift to the Claresholm and District Health Foundation. To help ensure that outstanding health care in our community will be top notch for years.
Many of our supporters have discovered that you don’t need to be wealthy to make a profound difference. In fact, by exploring the possibilities of creative estate planning they were able to make substantial tax-favoured gifts without majorly impacting their current income or assets.
Outlined below are some giving opportunities that you may want to explore. Each option allows you to preserve your financial security for yourself and your loved ones, while giving the gift of continued support to local health services.
Gift by Will (Bequest)- A bequest is a relatively uncomplicated way to make a gift to the Claresholm and District Health Foundation. No matter how much money you have, you can leave something to charity through a will or trust. You can leave a specific amount, specific percentage, or the remainder of your estate after other bequests and debts have been paid. Our biggest tax bill is our estate's final tax bill - giving a gift in your will can be very tax advantageous.
Endowment Fund - Thanks to a Legacy Gift from Marie & Gordon Burrows left a gift in their Will to the Claresholm and District Health Foundation. An Endowment Fund has established in partnership with The Community Foundation of Lethbridge & Southwestern Alberta. Gifts towards the Endowment Fund will generate revenue annually to support evolving local health care in perpetuity.
Life Insurance - A gift through life insurance provides a way for you to make a more substantial gift to the Claresholm and District Health Foundation than you might have thought you could afford, at a relatively low cost.
Charitable Gift Annuities - A charitable gift annuity is an attractive way to make a gift to the Claresholm and District Health Foundation and receive guaranteed income for life. It is a gift that gives back. It can be especially appealing to individuals aged 70 or older, who wish to make a gift to the Foundation and turn their taxable interest income from savings into substantially tax-free income.
Securities and Mutual Funds - Making a gift of stocks, bonds and mutual funds to the Claresholm and District Health Foundation provides a gift to support our local health services plus attractive tax advantages for you. Only a few years ago, most charitable gifts were made using cash. Donating mutual funds or appreciated securities of publicly traded companies listed on a stock exchange makes for a tax-effective way of giving.
Charitable Remainder Trust - A charitable remainder trust is a way to make a secure future gift to the Clarsholm and District Health Foundation while retaining the investment income from the gift during your lifetime. If you have decided that you would like to give a substantial asset to support the Foundation but need the income that the asset generates, a charitable remainder trust has many benefits.
